Chapter 15 – Trees (Poem) Solutions

Question - 1 : -
What are the games or human activities which use trees, or in which trees also “participate” ?

Answer - 1 : -

Trees are used in games like ‘swinging’ and ‘hide and seek’. They are used in many human activities. Some of them are making houses, getting shade or fire. We get our fruit and timber from the trees. The painters like to draw and paint a scenery of trees.

Question - 2 : -
(i) “Trees are to make no shade in winter.” What does this mean ? (Contrast this line with the line immediately before it.)
(ii) “Trees are for apples to grow on, or pears.” Do you agree that one purpose of a tree is to have fruit on it ? Or do you think this line is humorous ?

Answer - 2 : -

(i) It means that there are also those trees that give no shade and so it’s a pleasure to be with them during winter.
(ii) Yes. It is indeed true that one important purpose of a tree is to have fruit on
it. Thus this line is not humorous.
