Have you seen trees around you that bear flowers and fruits at special times of the year? If you have ever eaten a ripe mango or seen mangoes in the market or watched a mango tree through the year, try to guess—at what time of the year did Khushi draw her picture? Could it be around January or around June?
Khushi drew her picture around June. The picture shows a mango tree with a mango growing on it and a bird sitting on it.
In India, mangoes ripen during the summer season, which is around May to June. If Khushi saw ripe mangoes or mangoes in the market and a mango tree with fruits, it would be during the mango season, which is around June.
In January, mango trees typically do not bear ripe fruits.
Explanation
The chapter on Page 13 includes a picture of Khushi's drawing showing a mango tree with a mango growing on it. This question connects to the concept that natural things like trees have seasonal patterns - they bear flowers and fruits at specific times of the year. Mango season in India is typically during the summer months (May-June), not in January.
