प्रश्न
A small thought, put in action, led to a great achievement. Pick out the lines from the beginning and end of the poem and explain their significance.
उत्तर
"Must have a tree of my own,” I said.”
The above line from the beginning of the poem merely highlights a small thought of a little child; which he put into action. An optimistic thought leads to action and finally to a positive outcome. This fact should be kept in mind and followed in real life.
“Yes, I! – praised Night and Stars and tree: That small, the cherry, grown by me.”
The last line towards the end of the poem highlights the feeling of pride that the poet experiences because of his small act of planting the seed all those years ago. His joy knows no bounds when he looks at the outcome of his action – his cherry tree in full bloom. Similarly, we should take responsibility for our thoughts, actions, and outcomes in our lives. We should feel proud of our achievements and make room for more positivity all around us.
