Answers
(a) The narrator and his family 'sigh in relief because grandma was ill and doctor prescribed her to take rest for some days (a week). Actually she was rescued from the top of the tree. And they thought she would stop climbing trees then.
(b) Granny was confined to bed because one day she climbed on the tree and did not come down and at last she was rescued. So doctor instructed her to take rest.
She found it a brief season in hell because for the cause of bed rest she was then unable to see and feel the outside around her. Moreover she was not well to climb on trees.
(c) Granny declared that no longer she confined to her bedroom. She wanted the poet's father to build a house on the tree for her so that she can take ease in it. Dutiful son kept her mother's will and made a wonderful house on the tree. Thus she finally escaped from this 'season in hell'.
Answer:
The poem ‘Grandma Climbs a Tree’ portrays Ruskin Bond’s love for his family. The storyline is as follows: Ruskin Bond, in this poem tells us how his grandmother had a passion for climbing trees from a very young age and how she could climb trees till the age of sixty-two! The only problem was that Bond’s family was scared that one day, she would fall. Once when everyone except Grandma was out of town, the old lady climbs a tree but is unable to come down. After being ‘rescued’ as Bond puts it, the doctor advises her rest. However, Grandma is not able to live without a tree, so she tells Bond’s father to build a tree-house. Accordingly, Bond and his father build a tree-house and this way, Bond and his Grandma spend evenings sitting in the tree- house, drinking sherry. This poem shows the unconditional love Bond has towards his family. It shows his ability to enjoy unusual events and actions.
