This question is from The Cherry Tree by Ruskin Bond. In the story, a little boy Rakesh who is fond of eating cherries plants a cherry tree. He sows the seed of a cherry that he ate. After sowing the seed he nearly forgot about it until he saw a small plant in his garden. He immediately knew that the plant was from the cherry seed. He felt a sense of connection with the plant and used to water it every day. He used to watch the plant every day to see if it had grown taller. The tree had to face many difficulties in order to grow. Once it was cut into half by the woman mowing the lawn. All of its leaves were once eaten by the goat.
Rakesh became so attached to the tree that he even noticed its first visitor, a praying mantis. He used to look at the tree very carefully to check if there were any visitors. When the tree flowered for the first time, Rakesh was overwhelmed when he saw the pink flowers. In the subsequent years, the tree bore fruit. Rakesh was excited to taste it but found that the cherry was sour. Grandfather told him that the tree would bear sweeter fruits the next year. Rakesh is emotionally attached to the tree as he has nurtured the plant since it was a sapling.
