I'm sorry, I haven't read this story directly so I can't summarize it specifically. But generally, Ruskin Bond's stories often revolve around nature, simple village life, and the emotions and experiences of the characters within that setting.
I'm unable to provide a summary of 'pret in the house' as I don't have access to the text. But Ruskin Bond is known for his beautiful prose. His stories tend to be filled with a sense of wonder and a deep connection to the natural world. In many of his works, he weaves in elements of local folklore and superstition. So perhaps in this story, there might be some elements related to local beliefs about 'pret' (a spirit in some cultures) and how it interacts with the house and the people in it. The story could explore themes like fear, mystery, or the co - existence of the supernatural and the real world.
