The ugly words to a group of buzzards

Further Explanation:

“The life you save may be your own” is a short story that is written by American author Flannery O’ Connor and it belongs to the collection of 10 stories from a book named, “A Good man is hard to find”. It was published in the year 1955. It is a story of an elderly woman and her daughter who sit quietly on their porch at Sunset and further in the story, the writer reveals that the daughter is deaf and mute, When Mr. Shiftlet comes up walking towards their farm, the mother of the daughter views Shiftlet as ‘a tramp’.
