Answer 2

The old man's hose is "a world too wide" because he has become thin

• The question has been asked from the story The Seven Ages.
• World too wide refers to the stockings he purchased in his youth, now it has become too loose for his thin, shrunken legs.
• Because the man becomes very weak and thin as he ages, the stockings belong to the era when he was very young and well-built.
• They now look comical with emaciated legs and at this point they are too big for him.
