The story clearly states that Saurabh stopped watering because 'आम का पौधा नहीं निकला' after some days. However, this was wrong because later during light rain, a small plant appeared at the same spot. The father also explains that plants take time to grow ('छोटे से पौधे को बड़ा होने में बहुत समय लगेगा'). This teaches students about patience and consistent care for plants.
