Question

1. But there was the boy, his grandson. It
was good that Mehmood's son worked
close by, for it gladdened the old man's
heart to watch the small boy play in the
winter sunshine, growing under his eyes
like a young and well- nourished sapling
putting forth new leaves each day. There is
a great affinity between trees and men. We
grow at much the same pace, if we are not
hurt or starved or cut down. In our youth
we are resplendent creatures, and in our
declining years we stoop a little, we
remember, we stretch our brittle limbs in
the sun, and then, with a sigh, we shed our
last leaves.
