I. Unseen Passage
Question: Read the following story carefully.
Grandfather was sitting under the apple tree in his garden. His grandchildren were
happily munching on the juicy apples from the tree.
‘Who planted this tree here, Grandfather?’ asked one of the children.
‘Come I will tell you how this tree came to be here,’ said their grandfather.
Grandfather began, ‘I came to live here more than fifty years ago. One day I was
standing just about where this apple tree now stands and talking to my neighbour. I
was telling him that I wanted to earn a lot of money.’
‘The neighbour, who was a very wise man, said to me, ‘It is so simple. All you
need to do is begin well. Right where you are standing, hidden in the ground are
hundreds of rupees. It is up to you to dig them out.’
‘I was then a young man without much understanding of the ways of the world.
The next day I dug a huge hole in the ground but I found nothing.’
‘The next morning, when my neighbour saw the hole, he began to laugh. ‘Oh dear,
I didn’t mean that you actually had to dig a hole. Now I will tell you what I really
meant.’
‘The neighbour then gave me an apple sapling and said, ‘Take this. Plant it in the
hole you have dug. Look after it well. In a few years from now, when this sapling
becomes a tree, you will start getting money. This young apple tree will reward
you.’
‘I planted the apple sapling and looked after it well. The tree grew strong and over
the years, it has become the huge tree that you see in front of you. I have been
selling its fruit all these years. This tree has certainly given me back hundreds and
hundreds of rupee. Even today I earn money by selling it delicious fruit.
I have never forgotten the lesson that my neighbour taught me.’

Little plants will grow to bear
Abundant fruits some day;
If only you can take good care
Of the plants you have today!
