Then one day something magical happened. The fact is my neck was a bit stiff that morning. 2. Beyond the pavement a gulmohar (凤凰木) tree with a vivid crown of bright red and orange blossoms in bunches. The small leaves were equally beautiful. I racked my head for expressions to describe them.
The gulmohar’s small neighbor was cooler. I recognized it as an Ashoka tree. I felt that the Ashoka did not have a private music collection of its own. My gaze shifted to its neighbor. Now this one was a beauty in its own way. They seemed to be friends. 3. The Ashoka looked like their parent or guardian content to be in its own world.
Suddenly the trees seemed to be moving away from me. Had they set out on their outing already?4. The traffic lights had turned green and we were on our way. For the first time I felt the traffic signal was not such a bad sort. 5. Did that feel good!

B. Then I realized what it was.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
D. It was a clear five-minute wait there.
E. The red light is always attractive to me.
F. As I moved my head to the left I saw it for the first time.
