Read the following passage carefully :-
Jupiter was deeply maed by the mother's sorrow, and also by the prayers of the
people on the earth. He thought for a while and said, “Proserpine may return to
earth if she has not tasted any food in Pluto's kingdom."
Ceres quickly descended into the land of the dead But alas! That very day Proserpine
had eaten six pomegranate seeds, and for every one of those seeds she was destined
each year to spend a month in the realm of the dead.
So for six month every year Proserpine would come back to her mother. When
she did so, flowers bloomed, birds sang and the earth smile to welcome the young
queen. But when the time came for Proserpine to rejoin Pluto in his dark under-
ground kingdom, Ceres would begin to grieve for six month. The earth too, would
look sad and gloomy. The trees would shed their leaves. The flowers, too would
hide underground, until they heard again the gentle football of Proserpine returning
to earth.
