Answer 1

The Village Pharmacy

Answer.

• No wonder the neem is known as the ‘wonder tree’ and you’re a wonder girl too! This lines were spoken by Neema's mother Vembu.

• Neema brought a neem sapling to be planted in their garden as a fitting gesture on the part of her school, as praised by her mother. When Neema told that she was blased to be named NEEMA, her mother said so.

• Besides many medicinal properties, neem trees also have many other uses, which is a wonder. As her daughter Neema has done a wonderful job by bringing "the village pharmacy" home, she is also a "wonder". This is why Neema's mother Vembu has used Adjective 'wonder' for both the tree and the girl.
