It became a tree. He sunned with his smile. The tree blossomed and brought forth fruit. It attracted the enemy.
He chose the night to steal it and eat it. The next morning the enemy was found lying dead. The anger kept on growing till the end. The poet grew the poison tree with an aim to kill the enemy. The fruit proved its worth. The enemy was killed. The poet became happy.
“Love forgives and covers all sins”
उत्तर २
The wrath of the poet has become an actual tree. Anger does not bear apples. But apple trees can do. The tree has grown well. It has started blossoming and bearing fruits. The apple is very bright and it is attractive to the enemy’s eyes. The enemy makes up his mind to taste it. He tries to get the fruit stealthily. Apparently, in the dark night, the enemy eats the apple. It ends up killing the enemy or making him fall asleep. Death has become inevitable to the enemy. Thus the poisonous fruit killed the enemy and made the poet happy.
“Destroy enmity but not enemies”
