Girl hears sad story, attaches framework of cultural beliefs RE reincarnation.
Girl tells fanciful story substitutes herself for the inititial object.
Widower hears that semi-creepy 9 year old girl is making references to marriage with him...his mind swims with the possibilities. Did he just trade an older, pregnant wife for a younger, virgin wife?
Girl is dissappointed when the attention these claims draws presents an opportunity to meet the love interest she has been fantasizing about, and the reality of the man does not match the fantasy she has cultivated.
Themes such as rebirth, reunion, marriage, and the actions of spouses after we are gone all feature heavily in this narrative (which is what this is). It is a tale that is ancillary the the Ghandi legend. It's good stuff. We've ruled out explanations such as these?
