Answer:
Explanation:
(a) The father looked red-eyed at the child when he pleaded for toys that were in the shops lined the way to the fair.
(b) A tyrant is a cruel man who always keeps his self-interest supreme.
The father was not tyrant in this sense of the term. He was simply a strict disciplinarian as a parent.
(c)It was the day of the festival of spring and all were in a mood to rejoice. The mood of festivity was the free spirit that made the mother soft-hearted.
(d) The mother asked the child to look before him because she wanted to divert his attention from the toys in the shop without upsetting him after his father's stern refusal.
