1. Why do you think the speaker wants to live like a pedlar?
Answers
She wants freedom and wishes to draft in the sea like a mermaid. The speaker asks her if she has done her homework, cleaned her room and shoes. The girl wishes that she should be an orphan roaming freely in the dusty streets. The speaker forbids her to eat chocolate but the little girl does not even look at the speaker because she does not like this type of restrictions. She considers herself to be Rapunzel and yearns that some prince will come for the sake of her liberty.
The pedlar's mobile existence is envied by the speaker, who notes that "where he comes from nobody knows / Or where he goes to, but on he goes!" The structure of the poem—four stanzas of four lines each, in simple aabb rhyme—reflects its light, rather childish subject matter and the fact that it was intended for children. Likewise, the description of the pedlar's caravan is pleasingly simplistic, with its "windows two" and "chimney of tin that the smoke goes through."
