The struggle of the cherry tree for survival.

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

(a) “It was very small, five months child, Lost in the small grass, running wild”.

(b) “But cherries have a way of growing, Though no one’s caring very much or knowing”.

(c) “Goats ate the leaves, the grass cutter scythe Split it apart and a monsoon blight Shrivelled the slender stem…Even so,” All these dangers were handled by the plant boldly since it had the urge to live.

(d) “The young tree struggle, upward thrust Its arms in a fresh fierce lust For light and air and sun”

The young tree refused to accept defeat and continued its struggle for survival in order to get the basic necessities of light, air and sun needed for its growth.
