Question

Summary of grandma climbs the tree​

Answer 1

This poem by Ruskin’s Bond poetically describes his granny’s

love for trees. The poet begins the poem by calling her ‘genius’ as she could

climb any type of tree easily. She had learnt it from her brother when she was

six; and she had been climbing trees since then. As she grew old, she was

advised not to climb trees as it looked disgraceful, however, she did not pay

heed to this advice.

It was feared that one day she would fall. But she never

fell! However, one day when she was alone at home, she climbed a tree, but

could not come down. She was rescued from the tree top. After that she fell

ill; the doctor was called; he took her temperature and advised her bed rest

for a week. Everyone felt relieved as this would curb granny’s tree-climbing.

Quite contrary to everyone’s expectations, the granny grew miserable lying in

the bed. Obviously she was missing tree climbing. She sat up on her bed and

declared she would not be confined to bed any longer. She called the poet’s

father and instructed him to have a house built for her in the treetop.

The dutiful dad did the granny’s wish. With the poet’s help

he built a beautiful treetop house for the granny. The granny moved into the

treetop house. The poet took her meals up the treetop house. She had a

wonderful time living in the treetop house.
