What to Focus On

  • The speaker is the narrator and new landowner.
  • His wife wants to protect their food and crops.
  • Animals like bats, crows, and rats are seen as 'trespassers' at first.
  • All living beings have a right to share nature’s gifts.
  • Humans should not harm animals just because they use the same resources.
  • Violence causes more harm and should be avoided.
  • Trespassers – those who enter someone’s property without permission.
  • Laden – heavy with something (like trees laden with coconuts).
  • Raucous – very loud and harsh sound.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The speaker is angry at the animals for stealing his coconuts and wants to remove them.

The word 'trespassers' means the animals are breaking the law and should be punished.

The wife is the bad character because she wants to kill the rats and bats.

Memory Tips

The speaker calls animals 'trespassers' but realizes humans are too.

Trespassers in the story: birds, butterflies, crows, hawks, mongooses, foxes, rats, cobras, bats

Crows and hawks both prey on hens

Bats are the real culprits for coconut damage
