Solution
Lesson: I can’t climb trees anymore
Author: Ruskin Bond
Character: High expectations lead to high disappointments
Theme: Author and the girl
The man visited his old house. The girl allowed him to enter the house. She was kind and polite. The man realized that he too was old after climbing over the wall. He lost his hope of climbing the tree to find out his treasures. The girl climbed the tree and brought down the Iron cross. He was glad to see the dusted cross. He wanted to show his gratitude to her. So he gave it to the girl
If the writer had not given the Iron cross to the girl, he would have failed to be thankful. He might have been happy. But he would have missed the opportunity to express his kindness and love to the girl. The girl was also happy to accept the Iron cross as an honor for her adventure. The kind act of the ran made both the giver and the receiver happy at the same time. Let us give our love to mankind with all our kinds.
