Question

How did the narrator make the tiny baby squirrel hale and hearty?

Answer 1

Ans. When the poetess (the story writer) found the tiny baby squirrel, lying wounded on the flower-pot in her verandah, first, she washed the blood from his wounds with cotton wool and applied pencillin ointment over it. 

A light-weight flower-basket was used as a nest to reside him. It was fitted on the window. He was given all sorts of delicious and nutrient food mostly kaju and biscuits as his meal.

The story writer gave him full affection. He even dared to eat in her plate. She had immense intimacy with him. When she did sit to write down, he used to attract her attention by his naughty acts. She was highly pleased with his funny behaviour and loving him like her son.

Thus the reason behind Gillu's being hale and hearty was his utmost care, ruitrious food and the affection of the story-writer.
