• In the poem ‘the ball’, a little boy loses his ball to a nearby water body when he was playing with it and it falls in. The boy’s eyes are filled with sadness and he just keeps staring at the place where his ball fell, perhaps hoping for some miracle to get it back.
• The poet wanted to console the boy and thought about giving him some money to buy a new one or telling him that he’ll have more balls. The poet stops himself because the boy will now be able to learn about loss and that we will have to go through many such losses of our loved ones and items.
