Q3. What were the things that the boy wanted to possess when he was with his parents?
Answers
Answer:
He wants to have toys, different sweets, garland, balloons of different colours and has a keen desire to enjoy the roundabout. He moves on without waiting for an answer because whenever he stops to see things, his parents gave him a cautionary call, “come, child, come!”
The child went to a village fair with his parents. He saw several stalls of sweets and toys. At first he liked a beautiful toy. He asked his parents to buy him that toy. But his father called him away from that shop. Then he tried to catch a butterfly. But he did not succeed. After that he saw a sweets-seller. He wanted to have some burfi. But his father rejected his demand. Then he saw someone selling garlands of gulmohur flowers. The child wanted to buy a garland. But this demand was also rejected. After that he wanted to buy a balloon. His father did not buy it for him. Then the child saw a snake-charmer. He wanted to stop and hear the music of his flute. But he feared his father. So he went on. In the end, he wanted to have a ride on a roundabout. But his parents were nowhere to be seen.
