Question 12: Who do you think, was a better living being, the tree or the man? Give reason.

On the other hand, the boy became very selfish as he grew older. He did not realise even once that he had exploited the giving tree.
Question 13: Do you think the young man went to the tree because he loved it. Give reason to support your answer.
Answer: According to me, the young man did not love the tree at all. he went to the tree only when he needed something. This shows that he was a selfish man who was just concerned about himself and wanted to fulfill his worldly needs.
