Answer:
The narrator recounts a childhood experience from when they were seven years old, when their grandfather arranged for the malicious destruction of their father's dasheen plants. In spite of their mother's better judgement and instructions, the child foolishly disclosed this unfortunate incident to their father immediately upon his arrival, whereupon he angrily confronted the grandfather. This incident, doubtlessly exacerbated by an existing strain within the family, culminated in a physical fight. Although the conflict is eventually resolved, the narrator muses on the gratuitousness of the violent confrontation and how it could have been averted. A powerful lesson is bestowed upon the narrator and they resolve to thenceforce heed their parents' wisdom.
