I) Read this passage to answer the questions that follow:
“Are cherry seeds lucky?” asked Rakesh. “Of course”, replied Grandpa “Then I shall keep it.” ‘If you want to try your luck plant it ‘
Rakesh went to a corner of the garden where the earth was soft and yielding. He did not have to dig. He pressed the seed into the soil with his thumb and it went right in.
As the year passed he forgot all about it. One morning in the garden he bent to pick up what he thought was a small twig and found to his surprise that it was well rooted. He stared at it for a moment, and then ran to fetch Grandpa, calling, ‘Dada, come and look, the cherry tree has come up!’
Rakesh went down on his haunches, while Grandpa bent almost double and peered down at the tiny tree.
“Yes it is a cherry tree”, said Grandpa. “You should water it now and then.” He looked at the tree every morning but the tree did not seem to be growing very fast. So he stopped looking at the tree.
