Answer:
The baker was a very respected person in the Goan society because he would guide the children about good behaviour (when he mildly rebuked them for peeping into his basket and giving respect to the elders). He was very informal with the children. The children of Goa considered the baker as a friend and companion. He was not simply a vendor. The children ran to meet him not because of their love for the loaf, which was bought by the servant of the house. They actually longed for the bread bangles. The noise from his bamboo stick would wake the children up and they showed their eagerness to meet him by running out to greet him.
