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

The goat and the woman cutting grass caused the same damage to the cherry tree.

The cherry seed was planted in the flowerbed where mustard had already been sown.
