Ruchi, a kind and helpful girl lived in the city. She was an avid thinker and a listener and grew up listening to the stories of her mother about a beautiful banyan tree in her mother's village. Ruchi really wanted to see it as her mother was continuously talking about the hidden treasure in the banyan tree. Her mother knew about the treasure but wanted Ruchi to find it out on her own.


So the next day they boarded the train to Sarthak Nagar her mother's village. When they reached Ruchi saw that there was greenery all around and one banyan tree covered the entire village. This was different from the city in which they lived. That was covered with the jungle of concrete. She looked at the tree, searched here and there but there was no treasure around. However, she saw children playing, people resting, eating and sharing their happiness under the shade of the tree. It looked like a heavenly abode as there was happiness and joy all over the land.


An old woman told her that they worshipped the banyan tree. They were able to bear the heat of the sun and once it had saved them from getting drowned in floods whereas other villages were devastated. Ruchi realized that the treasure was the banyan tree itself and promised to cherish it for the future and try to plant new trees in her city.
