I live in a beautiful village area. It has many different types of trees and plants. But especially in my village, there is a big jackfruit tree near our house. I think it is very old. It looks like a giant to me.
But I don’t know who planted it. I asked my mother, but she didn’t know it either. My friends and I ride the swings on the jackfruit tree. We all eat jackfruit and Varaka (ripened jackfruit) regularly. I have fond memories of that tree.
I hope to plant more such plants.
