Answer:
Inside the school, he is like a caged bird. Outside he is as free as a singing skylark. On a summer morn, the schoolboy would like to rise early when the birds sing, the distant huntsman blows his horn and the skylark sings with him. He considers all these to be a sweet company. But he is not allowed to do this as he has to go to school and the school drives all joy away. The boy's experience in school is full of fear and discouragement. The authoritarian way of teaching makes the boy sigh in dismay. His boredom and fear are reflected in the drooping manner in which he sits and the restlessness that he exhibits. The books give him no joy and the school makes him feel worn out.
