Bholi had many apprehensions about going to school. What made her feel that she was going to a better place than her home?

Explanation

Bholi had many apprehensions about going to school. She remembered how their old cow, Lakshmi, had been turned out of the house and sold. When she got a clean dress, bathed and oil was rubbed into her dry hair, only then she felt that she was going to a better place than her home.
