              Rakesh planted the cherry seed in a chosen spot in the garden.
              Grandfather  directed Rakesh to plant  the  seed in a shady corner of the garden where it
              wouldn’t be disturbed.
              Rakesh regularly watered the tree, demonstrating care and attention to its needs.
              When a goat ate the leaves, Grandfather reassured Rakesh, saying cherry trees are tough,
              indicating their commitment to protecting the tree.
              Despite setbacks like the goat and a woman cutting it in two, Grandfather encouraged Rakesh
              and reassured him that the tree would recover.
              Rakesh observed the tree’s growth, even when it seemed slow, and appreciated its progress.
