Answer:
The ball fell into water. The boy seemed to be upset after losing his ball. The poet felt sad on seeing the boy, who lost his ball.
The poet John Berryman wants the boy in the poem to learn what is responsibility. According to him, the boy when looses his ball, should not be told that there are other balls that you may buy. But instead in this situation, they should be left alone and not intrude on, so that they learn what is responsibility.
From the loss of the ball, the boy is learning that he will have to give up many things he loves in life. He may want to hold onto them, but may never possess them forever. Money can help us compensate our material losses; but it cannot help us restore the emotions attached to our possessions.
