The Mango Tree.
|
In my little garden
My Grand-Pa planted a tree.
I asked him what it was.
He said it's a mango tree.
When I asked him why he did so.
He said this is for you.
This will bear fruits in three years.
Because this is a buded plant.
Three years have gone.
Now the plant has grown.
This small tree has bunches of fruits.
They are called "Villand"
They are also called "Apple Mangoes"
when they are unriped they taste like apple.
The riped ones give a better taste.
The taste is very pleasant and sweet.
My Grand-Pa, my father and myself,
My Grand-Ma, my mother and my sister,
All of us have tasted these fruits.
This small tree has now served for three generations.
Plant a tree in your little garden.
That will serve you for generations.
Eat riped fresh fruits everyday,
You'll feel younger and stronger.
