mention the two incidents thats almost destroyed the cherry plants
Answers
Explanation:
Rakesh lived with his grandfather on the outskirts (immediately outside) of Mussoorie (India).
One day he went to the bazaar and bought a packet of cherries. He ate them all the way and when he got home, only three cherries were left.
On reaching home, Rakesh gave one cherry (just one, lol!) to his grandfather and ate the remaining two (too greedy!). He ate the last one so slowly that he could taste it for long.
Thinking that cherry seeds were lucky, Rakesh decided to keep the last cherry’s seed but grandfather advised him to sow/bury it so that it could grow to a cherry tree.
Rakesh got his spade (a metallic tool with which we dig the earth to plant plants) and began to dig in the garden.
But that was the wrong place – grandfather had sowed mustard seeds there. Now Rakesh had to find another place for his cherry seed – the shady corner of the garden where wind and snow could not easily trouble the cherry.
Rakesh did not have to dig the earth in the corner of the garden because the soil was too soft. He pressed the seed down with his thumb and the cherry seed was sown/buried.
After a while both Rakesh and his grandfather forgot about the seed.
During winter, Rakesh listened to the wonderful tales/stories told by grandfather.
He had to read newspapers for grandfather because the old man had a weak eyesight.

Grandfather asked Rakesh to sow the cherry seed in the corner of the garden because grandfather had already sowed mustard seeds in the place where Rakesh tried to sow his cherry. Besides, the corner of the garden was safer for the cherry because wind and snow could not easily trouble the cherry.
2. The seed germinates, grows up | Rakesh 7 years
Winter was over and spring season returned. While watching the migratory birds flying North to Siberia, Rakesh happened to notice a twig (small plant with one or two leaves) in the corner of the garden.
Immediately he knew it was the cherry that he had planted a year ago. Rakesh ran for his grandfather and showed him the cherry twig.
Grandfather instructed Rakesh to water the plant now and then and Rakesh sprinkled water and circled it with pebbles – ‘For Privacy!’
Rakesh’s curiosity was mounting. Every morning he ran out to see the cherry’s growth but was disappointed that it grew very slowly.
During the monsoon season, the cherry plant grew quicker and Rakesh was happier and more excited.
