Can a ‘simple jab of the knife’ kill a tree? Why not?
✓
Answer
In his poem, ‘On killing a tree’, Gieve Patel tells us that a simple jab of a knife is not enough to kill a tree.
It has taken years to grow from the earth and its trunk is strong and hard, One jab may hurt the bark but soon the bleeding bark will heal and the tree will be its original self again.
