What to Focus On

  • The setting is the Himalayan foothills near Mussoorie.
  • The soil is stony and the winds are cold and dry.
  • Oak and deodar grow on sheltered slopes.
  • Rakesh buys cherries and keeps the last seed.
  • Grandfather teaches that luck must be put to use.
  • The seed is planted in a shady corner.
  • Spring is linked with the wild duck flying north to Siberia.
  • The tiny tree is about four inches high when first found.
  • Grandfather advises watering the tree.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
