Topic- Comprehension Literature Passage ‘The Lost child’ is a story written by Mulk Raj Anand. In this story a child visits a village fair with his parents. He is happy and excited. Fascinated by the toy shops on the way, he demands for them but receives a cold stare of refusal by his father. Then they pass through a mustard field there he is mesmerized by the nature.
