Answer 2

Answer:

The lost spring is an excerpt from the book 'Lost Spring: Stories of Stolen Childhood' authored by Anees Jung. It narrates the life story of a child named Saheb who resides in Seemapuri, a neighborhood outside of Delhi, with his family who migrated from a small village in Bangladesh. He supports his family by picking up trash. While talking to them, the author notices that Saheb and other rag pickers were not wearing chappals. He wonders if it was because going barefoot is a tradition and lack of Money had nothing to do with it. The author questions if going barefoot is an excuse for these children for continuing to live in abject poverty. Additionally, he recalls the tale of the beggar who begged the goddess for a pair of shoes.
