summary on cherry Tree by Ruskin bond

Answer 1

Rakesh sowed a cherry seed in his grandfather’s garden in Mussoorie. He was very curious about the growth of the plant. Although it was once eaten by a goat and cut by a woman while cutting grass, the cherry tree didn’t give up. After four years, the tree blossomed and bore fruits. Rakesh could always look at the tree in wide amazement – touching the bark and leaves, he asks his grandfather, “Is this what it feels to be God?”

Answer 2

Cherry Tree by Ruskin Bond is a beautiful story which indirectly symbolizes human life and its struggle through Rakesh and his cherry tree.

Cherry Tree by Ruskin Bond

Rakesh threw a cherry seed and that started to shoot into a twig. He took care of it but was impatient to wait for its natural growth and so left it uncared. But with all its strong resilient power, the cherry tree wins over nature and starts to grow. Rakesh was delighted to see its growth and starts to take care of it again along with his grandfather.

He was ecstatic to see the tree bloom with beautiful flowers and the thought that he was going to get the fruit from the tree that he planted made him feel so great.

The author has beautifully portrayed the beauty of the nature and climate of Mussoorie. Through the character of Rakesh, who is so kind towards his grandfather and the cherry tree, the author symbolically compares goodness to godliness.
