1. You have used "He" a second person in your precis, that is not allowed, precis is always written in 3rd person form or in indirect speech.
2. you have mentioned word count of 53. I counted it 66. I guess you are excluding prepositions and title of precis. In precis a single "a" is also counted as a word also title is counted as part of precis. So include them too in your precis.
3. precis is always 1/3 of original paragraph. In original paragraph words are 264, whose 1/3 will be 88 words but you haven't fulfilled its requirement.
4. You have given precis title something like a sentence. Don't go towards a sentence structure or an idiomic format and it should be between 3-8 words.

Thank you for positive response since i am naive in the bussiness so i dont know whether title is included in word count but as per my knowledge i think it is not counted.secondly i will try to improve myself in future to be more accurate and precise.
