Dad was sure that he would not fall as he thought he was a good climber and that climbing a tree was a child’s play.

In plan A, Dad took out a ladder from the garden shed and placed it against the tree. However, it slipped and he landed on the flower bed.

The phrase in the poem that expresses Dad’s self confidence the best is ‘Child’s play, this is’

Plan C was a success as Dad managed to climb the wall without falling. However, when he leaped on to the tree, he landed right where the cat was stuck. This frightened the cat and it jumped from the tree and landed safely on the ground. Hence, the cat was free and the plan was a success. However, what went wrong was that now Dad was stuck on the tree at the same place.
