Question

Describe how helen got over the fear of climbing up the trees

Answer 1

Helen took a while to come out of the bad experience she had had while climbing tree. It was the sweet allurement of the mimosa tree in full bloom which made her overcome her fears. One morning in spring, she was alone at the summer-house, reading, when she became conscious of a fragrant smell in the air. It was as if the mimosa tree was calling out to her by spreading its alluring odour in the air. Helen pulled herself up into the tree, held on to the branches which were very large even though the bark hurt her hands. She had a delicious sense of doing something unusual and wonderful so she kept climbing higher and higher until she reached a little seat that had grown into a part of the tree. She sat there for a long time and spent many happy hours whiling away in her tree of paradise, thinking fair thoughts and dreaming bright dreams.
