Question:

ii. Why did the poet not offer the boy money to buy another ball ?

Answer:

He does not want to disturb the boy as he wants him to feel what it is like to lose something. The poet wants him to be able to cope with his loss. He does not offer him 'money' to buy another ball because he wants the boy to understand that money cannot buy everything.
