Answers
Explanation:
Sidda asked the moon to follow.
◾It refers to the moon.
◾ In R.K. Narayan’s short story “Leela’s Friend”,the moon episode is an enchanting incident. Leela relishes Sidda’s company supremely. So Sidda has to drop his work to run to Leela whenever she cries, “Sidda, come and play!”. They will play a typical game. And through this game Sidda’s power of imagination elicits not only Leela’s amazement, but also her faith, her confidence in Sidda, and her true companion. Sidda closing his eyes, throws the ball into the sky and when the ball returns Sidda says that the ball has touched the moon. He even shows Leela a bit of trace of the moon sticking to the ball. After keenly examining the ball for the traces of the moon she claims that she has not seen it. Sidda replies that it must be seen quickly, otherwise it would evaporate. Sidda also persuades Leela that the moon can be touched by standing on a coconut tree. Sidda takes her to different places to instill in him the presence of the moon everywhere. They move near the rose plant, or to the backyard. Sometimes they stopped near the well. From each places Sidda discovered the ubiquitous presence of the moon. Leela is befuddled to see the same moon at different places.Leela subsequently claps and screams in wonder. Sidda declares that he has asked the moon to follow them. Leela becomes very delighted about it and reports it to her mother – “Sidda knows the moon”. This episode is a fine treatment to Leela to explore her imaginative world.
