He stood on the grass
verge by the side of the road and looked over the garden wall at the old house.
It hadn’t changed much. The old house built with solid blocks of granite wasn’t
altered at all. But there was a new outhouse, and there were fewer trees. He
was glad to see that the jackfruit tree still stood at the side of the building
casting its shade on the wall. He remembered his grandmother saying: “A
blessing rests on the house where the shadow of a tree falls. And so the
present owners must also be receiving the tree’s blessings. At the spot where
