   The Garhwali mini story ‘Sadari ar Tihri’ by Anjali Nautiyal is very good example of symbolic stories in Garhwali language. She compares the situation of an old aged man and sinking Tihri. The son does not purchase new dressing for his aged father that his father  might die any day and at the same time he does not repair his decrypting house because very soon the people of Tihri would be displaced.

अब वैका आंख्युं मा टीरी को किचील से भर्युं बस अड्डा रिटण लगे . टूटी फूटीं सड़क्यूँ कागड्ढा अर उजड़ी दुकानि अर टूट्या डेरा . बस तबी वैन चितै कि वैकि सेरी ताकत खतमह्वेगी . अब ना त वो बाबाजीक सदरी सिले सकदो अर ना कबि अपड़ी उजड़ी छत बणैसकदो .

           The story is illustrated very well and in minimum words, the story writer is successful to compare the two tendered situations. Anjali could successfully show the tension, could create atmosphere, and characterization in lowest possible words.  The story compels readers to think about the situation of old aged persons who are being ignored for financial reasons.
