Q.1. What are the games or human activities which use trees, or in which trees also ‘participate’?
Ans:
Trees give cool shade in summer and warm sunshine in winter. Children make use of trees to play ‘hide and seek’, and to enjoy swinging . Humans also make tree houses and have tea parties under the trees. Trees give us fruits as well as timber. They serve as lovely models for painting.
Q2. (i)“Trees are to make no shade in winter.” What does it mean?
Ans:
The line means that some kinds of trees become leafless in winter and people get the warmth of sunlight nder such trees.
(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?
Ans:
Yes. It is indeed true that one important purpose of a tree is to have fruit on it. Thus this line is not humorous.
