Explanation:
One day, Helen was with her teacher,Sullivan for a long walk.It was a fine morning but then it got a little worm.Both of them stopped to rest under a cherry tree which was a short way from the house.The tree was easy to climb so both climbed the tree.They decided to stay there and have lunch.Miss Sullivan left Helen on the tree and went to get some food.Suddenly Helen experienced some change.The sky became black and a strange odour came to Helen from the Earth.It was an indication to her that a thunderstorm was close by.Helen was scared as she was alone and that too high above the Earth.She wanted to get down but could not do that alone.The a sudden and violent wing began to shake the tree.Just as Helen was about to fall, Sullivan came to her help.This incident made Helen learn that nature was not always kind.
Helen took a while to come out of the bad experience she had when she climbed the tree.It was the sweet allurement of the mimosa tree in full bloom Which made her overcome her fears.One morning in spring, she was alone at the summer-house, reading, when she became conscious of a fragrant smell in the air.It was as if the mimosa tree was calling her by spreading its alluring odour in the air.Helen pulled herself up to the tree, held on to the branches which were very large, even though the bark hurt her hands.She had a delicious sense of doing something unusual and wonderful so she kept climbing higher and higher until she reached a little seat that had grown into a part of the tree.She sat there for a long time and spent many happy hours whiling away on her tree of paradise, thinking fair thoughts and dreaming bright dreams.
