Answer:
(a) What did the child want from the fair? Why does he move on without waiting for an answer from his parents?
(ANS) The child like any other child wanted to have everything from the fair: toys, balloons, sweets, and a garland of gulmohar. He wanted to watch the snake charmer play the flute to a snake and ride in the roundabout. The boy moved on without waiting for an answer because he knew that his request would be denied at each step. He knew that his father won’t buy
anything.
(b) How was the child lost in the fair?
(ANS) The child was fascinated with many things which he saw in the fair and wished to possess everything but deep down in his heart he was aware of his parents’ refusal. When he saw people whirl pooling and shrieking in a roundabout, he made a bold request to his parents. However, he received no reply and when he turned to see his parents, he found them nowhere in the sight. In this way the child got lost in the fair.
(c) Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that he had wanted earlier?
(ANS) For any child the security of being with his parents is most important. While the child was with his parents he was happy and wanted everything on the display at the fair. However the child loses interest in the things that he wanted earlier because he was panic stricken on being separated from his parents. All he wanted now was to be united with his parents. All the things that attracted him in the fair earlier, no longer appealed to him once the harsh realization of being lost hit him. The only thing that mattered to him was to find his parents.
(d) What do you think happens in the end? Does the child find his parents?
(ANS) Right from the beginning of their journey, the parents continuously kept checking whether the child was with them or not. In the end, when they may have suddenly realized that the child was missing, they may have started a frantic search for the lost child. The kind and understanding man who tried to console the lost child by offering him various things at the fair may have asked the child for some physical description of his parents and helped him to be reunited with his parents.
