The boy, who is the protagonist in the story ‘Adventures in a Banyan Tree’, appears to be a school student. He is enchanted by nature and likes to be in company with various creatures in nature. He lives with his loving and caring grandparents.
His sixty-five year old grandfather has set up an English model garden, and in the garden there is a magnificent banyan tree which is older than the grandfather and the house. The boy has made the tree his domain and built a platform half way up the tree where he spends his afternoons reading books. He likes various kinds of books including adventure stories and novels. Whenever he is not in a mood of reading he sits on the platform and enjoys the sights around him.
Once he sees a frightening fight between a huge cobra and a mongoose which the mongoose wins killing the cobra. He has made friendship with one of the squirrels living in the banyan tree, which delves into his pocket and takes food from him.
He has also made friendship with a white rat which his grandfather bought from the bazaar. He often takes his white rat to the banyan tree and it mates with one of the squirrels there. The squirrel gives birth to three white baby squirrels. The boy and his grandparents are in the thrill of having the rarest gift of nature, and the boy is proud of the white rat father, the squirrel mother and the three white baby squirrels.
