Explanation:
a) The little girl was crying because she had lost her way while gathering flowers for a garland to offer to goddess Durga.
(b) The pine tree realised that it was not possible for the girl to return to her house. So it offered the little girl to sleep in an open cave-like place under the tree itself.
(c) The little girl was disappointed because the flowers that she had gathered the previous night, lay withered on the ground. The tree wrapped its branches around the nearby flower trees and shook them gently so that the little girl may become happy after getting so many flowers.
(d) The short story teaches us a great lesson. It tells us to help others when they need it.
