He has spent, most of his life in the Garhwali hill station of Mussoorie., , The Cherry Tree, , -, , Ruskin Bond, , One day, when Rakhi was six, she walked home from the Musoorie bazaar, eating cherries. They were a little sweet, a little sour- small, bright red cherries, that had come all the way from the Kashmir valley., There were not many fruit trees in the Himalayan foothills of northern, India where Rakhi lived with her grandfather. The soil was stony, and only on the, more sheltered slopes were there forests of oak and deodar., By the time Rakhi reached her grandfather's cottage, there were three, cherries left. "Have a cherry, Dada," she said when she saw her grandfather in, the garden., Grandfather took a cherry, and Rakhi promptly ate the other two. She, kept the last seed in her mouth for a long time, rolling it around on her tongue, studied it., Bazaar – market, Cherry – a small round or black fruit with, a large seed inside., Sour – not sweet, having an unpleasant, taste or smell, Oak – a large tree found in the Northern, countries, Sheltered – covered or protected from, bad weather or danger., Cottage – small house usually in the, countryside, Tang – a strong, sharp pleasant taste or, smell, 79, , ENGLISH, , until the tang had gone.

www.tntextbooks.in, , Are cherry seeds lucky?" she asked., "Of course," said Grandfather., "Then I'll keep it.", "Nothing is lucky if you put it away. You must make it work for you.", "What can I do with a seed?", Charcoal – a black, substance made, from burnt wood,, used as a fuel, ghosts – spirit of a, dead person which, appears to people, who are alive, peer – look carefully, pebbles – small, stones, privacy – the, freedom to do, things without other, people watching you, or knowing what you, are doing, twig – small, thin, branch of a tree, , "Plant it!", Rakhi went to the corner of the garden, where the earth was, soft and yielding, and pressed the seed into the soil with her, thumb. It went right in., When it was winter in the hills, a cold wind blew and the, garden was bare. In the evenings Grandfather and Rakhi sat, outside near a charcoal fire, and Grandfather told storiesabout people who turned into animals, ghosts that lived in, trees, and beans that jumped and stones that wept., One spring morning Rakhi bent to pick up what she thought, was a small twig in the garden and found it was rooted. She, stared at it for a moment, then ran to fetch Grandfather,, calling, "Dada, come and look. The cherry tree has come up!", Grandfather bent almost in half to peer down at the tiny, tree. It was, about four, inches high., "Yes, it's a, , cherry, , tree,", , said, , Grandfather. "You should, water it now and then.", Rakhi gave it a sprinkling, and circled it with pebbles., "What are the pebbles for?", Grandfather asked., "For privacy," Rakhi said., , 80

Page 9 :
www.tntextbooks.in, , She looked at the tree every morning, but it did not seem to be growing. So, she stopped looking at it- except once in a while, quickly, out of the corner of her, eye., That year the monsoon rains came early, and Rakhi plodded, , to and from school under her umbrella. Even when it wasn't raining, crept – moved, quietly, the trees dripped as the mist came curling up the valley. The, miracle – an, cherry tree grew quickly., event, It was about two feet high when a goat entered the garden surprising and, and ate the leaves. Only the main stem and two thin branches difficult to, believe, remained., "Never mind," said Grandfather, seeing that Rakhi was, upset. "It will grow again. Cherry trees are tough.", Toward the end of the rainy season, new leaves appeared on the tree. Then, a runaway cart rumbled down the hill and snapped the young tree in half., "Will it die?" asked Rakhi., "It might," admitted Grandfather., But the cherry tree did not, die. By the time summer came, , Deodar Tree, , around again, it had sent out, when there was rain, Rakhi, would sometimes water the, tree. She wanted it to know, that she was there., One day Rakhi found a hairy, caterpillar on the tree. It, was making a meal of the, leaves. The girl removed it, quickly and dropped it over, the wall. "Come back when, you're a butterfly," she said., , 81, , ENGLISH, , several new shoots. Even

Page 10 :
www.tntextbooks.in, , One February it, was Rakhi's birthday. She, was ten, and the tree was, nearly four but taller than, the girl. Then on a sunny, morning Grandfather, came into the garden to, "let some warmth get into, my old bones," as he put it., He stopped in front of the, cherry tree, stared at it, Oak Tree, , for a few moments, and, called out: "Rakhi, come and look!", , Rakhi dashed over to see a pale pink blossom at the end of a branch. They, gazed at this little miracle., The following year there were more blossoms. The tree overshadowed, Rakhi, even though it was less than half her age. That summer there were small, cherries on the tree. Rakhi tasted one and spat it out., "It's too sour," she said., "They'll be better next year," Grandfather replied., One afternoon Rakhi went to the garden and rested beneath the tree. She, gazed up through the leaves at the blue dome of the sky. She could see the, mountain disappearing into the clouds. She was still lying beneath the tree when, the evening shadows crept across the garden., Grandfather came and sat down, and they waited in silence until the stars, came out., "Just one small seed," said Rakhi, and she touched the smooth bark of the, tree she had grown. She ran her hand along the branch and put her finger to the, tip of a leaf., "How it changed!" she said., "Just like you," smiled Grandfather., Night settled on the foothills, and Rakhi looked at the tree spread against, 82

"You eat the rest.", , "I can't," Adami's wife said. "I'm too full.", Adami asked all his children to help him eat the delicious pieces of sky, but, the children couldn't eat one more bite. So Adami decided to try to hide the, pieces at the bottom of the garbage pile., Suddenly, the sky became angry and the clouds, turned black. "You have wasted my gift of food again,", yelled the sky. "This time I will go away so you cannot, waste me anymore.", All of the people cried, "What will we eat?

If you work, hard, you may learn not to waste the gifts of nature.", Everyone watched as the sky sailed away. From, that time on, they worked hard to grow their food and, cook their meals.
