Question

The banyan tree was a world in itself, populated with small beasts and large

insects. While the leaves were still pink and tender, they would be visited by

the delicate map butterfly, who committed, her eggs to their care. The honey

on the leaves- an edible smear-also attracted the little striped squirrels who

soon grew used to my presence in the tree and became quite bold accepting

peanuts from my hand. Red headed parakeets swarmed about early in the

mornings. At the height of the monsoon, the banyan was like an orchestra pit

with the musicians constantly turning up. Birds, insects and squirrels

expressed their joy at the termination of the hot weather and the cool

quenching relief of the monsoon. A toy flute in my hands, I would try adding to

my shrill piping to theirs. But they thought poorly of my musical ability, for

whenever I piped, the birds and the insects maintained a pained and puzzled

silence. The branches were thick with scarlet figs. These berries were not fit

for human consumption, but the many birds that gathered in the tree-gossipy

rosy pastors, quarrelsome mynas, cheerful bulbuls and coppersmiths, and

sometimes a raucous, bullying crow-feasted on them. And when night fell, and

the birds rested, the dark flying foxes flapped heavily about the tree, chewing

and munching as they clambered over the branches.
