grandma climbs a tree summary
Answers
Answer :
Ruskin Bond's poem 'Grandma Climb's A Tree' is as follows :
'My grandmother was a genius. You’d like to know why?
Because she could climb trees. Spreading or high,
She’d be up their branches in a trice, and mind you
When last she climbed a tree she was sixty-two.
Ever since childhood, she’d had this gift
For being happier in a tree than in a lift;
And though, as years went by, she would be told
That climbing trees should stop when one grew old
And that growing old should be gone about gracefully
She’d laugh and say, ‘Well I’ll grow disgracefully,
I can do it better’. And we had to agree;
For in all the garden there wasn’t a tree
She hadn’t been up, at one time or another
[Having learned to climb from a loving brother
when she was six] but it was feared by all
That one day she’d have a terrible fall.
The outcome was different-while we were in town
She climbed a tree and couldn’t come down.
After the rescue,
The doctor took Granny’s temperature and said,
‘I strongly recommend a quiet week in bed’.
We sighed with relief and tucked her up well.
Poor Granny! For her, it was like a brief season in hell.
Confined to her bedroom, while every breeze
Whispered of summer and dancing leaves.
But she had held her peace till she felt stronger.
Then she sat up and said, ‘I’ll lie here no longer!’
And she called for my father and told him undaunted
That a house in a treetop was what she now wanted.
My dad knew his duties. He said, That’s all right
You’ll have what you want, dear. I’ll start work tonight.’
With my expert assistance, he soon finished the chore:
Made her a tree - house with windows and a door.
So granny moved up, and now every day
I climb to her room with glasses and tray.
She sits there in state and drinks sherry with me.
Upholding her right to reside in a tree.'
Answer
Ruskin Bond was born in 1934 in Kasauli, in Himachal Pradesh. He wrote his first Novel,'' The Room on the Roof''. when he was seventeen and he has written more than thirty books and describes unusual person and events with a sense of pleasure. In this autobiography, 'Scenes From a Writer's Life, 'Bond talks about his Calcutta grandma as a strange person who sat alone in the evenings playing Patience, a card game.
He describes his grandma as genius. He describes his granny's love for her tree. She could climb any kind of trees easily She had learnt it from her brother when she was six. As she grew old she was advised not to climb tree.
But however one day she was alone at the home, she climbed a tree, but couldn't come down. She was rescued from the tree top. After that she felt ill. She was miserable lying on the bed and was missing the tree climbing.
She sat upon her bed and declared she would not be continued to bed any longer. She called the poet's father and instructed him to have a house for her in the tree top.
