Answer:
Life in any form is worthy of everyone’s respect is what we learn from Ruskin Bond’s short story “The King and the Tree Goddess.” It emphasises on the fact that trees too have a life. Sometimes humans forget this important reality. They cut down trees to fulfil their temporary wishes. In India, many trees like the Tulsi, Banyan, Peepal, Deodar etc. are considered sacred and are worshipped.
In this story, a king living in the Himalayan foothills wanted to build a beautiful palace for himself with the wood of the deodar tree which was usually used to build temples. After searching a lot, the king’s men found a splendid deodar tree. The villagers used to worship the tree as a Goddess resided in it. The king’s men paid their respect to the Tree Goddess and informed her about the king’s desire. The Tree Goddess reciprocated quietly. That night she spoke to the king in his dreams and made him aware of the importance of her existence and the other trees which motivated him to change his mind.
