Answer 2

The answers to the given questions are listed below respectively.

Explanation:

1. The grandfather wanted his grandson, Rakesh, to realize that they should make good use of the opportunity that was presented to them. They should try and achieve something with it. He means to say that if things aren't put to use and just stored, then that thing will remain of no use by the time they decide to use it.
2. Rakesh used to give the tree a sprinkling and circle it with pebbles. He checked out the tree every morning but it didn't seem to be growing in no time.
3. The fact that they sowed the seeds and grew the tree themselves, watching it nurture from a small bud to a beautiful, grand tree was what made the tree so special. The grandfather was emphasizing this by telling Rakesh how the tree is more precious because they planted and grew it themselves.
