My Grandma’s Mango Tree
D
o you know my grandmother? Well if you

don’t, let me tell you, she is very special to me

and everything around her is special.

About forty-five yards behind my grandmother’s
house is a mango tree. It stands tall above all the

trees. There is a guava tree. Further along, there is

another mango tree. Around the roots of the

trees, grass is allowed to grow.

The many wide spreading branches provide much

needed shade. The thick clusters of dark green

leaves can be seen everywhere. There are lots of

ripe mangoes on the trees. Some are yellow and

ready to eat while several are still green. I eat two

of these sweet mangoes every day during the
mango season. The trees sometimes bear more

than once a year. This way, they provide a

constant source of food for my friends’ hungry

bellies.
