Question

how did rakesh and grandfather spend their winter evenings​

Answer 1

The Cherry Tree

In the evenings, grandfather and Rakesh sat over a charcoal fire, and grandfather told Rakesh interesting stories about people who turned into animals, and ghosts who lived in trees. In turn, Rakesh would read to him from the newspaper as his eyesight was rather weak. Rakesh found the stories very dull - especially after the stories - but Grandfather wanted all the news.
