Question

Character sketch of the lost child from the book moments

Answer 1

The man who helped the lost child was a kind-hearted man. When the child was lost, he was very confused and started running here and there in a haste- not knowing where to go. He ran to the shrine and fell down. That kin man was the only one in the whole crowed who bent down and picked up the child. The kind man was self-less, i.e. , he didn't care about anything else than to help the child. He tried to ask the child about his parents, but, the child was weeping badly and just wanted his parents. This shows that the child's parent's were the center an the meaning of his life and all the luxuries in the world were meaningless to him without his parents. Also, the kind man offered him everything that he wanted earlier- sweets, balloons, toys and so on, but, the child wanted only and only his parents and nothing else. From this, we conclude that the kind man wanted to help the lost child to find his parents, but, however, the child didn't tell him anything about his parents. The writer has kept the story ending open, and we may assume that the child met his parents later, as he was not the only one who was finding his parents, but, his parents were also finding him.

hope this helps!
