Question 1.
What are the things the child sees on his way to the fair? Why does he lag behind?
Answer:
On his way to the fair the child sees toys, balloons of different colours, garland of gulmohur, a swing and a snake-charmer playing a flute. He gets attracted towards all these things. So, he lags behind.
Question 2. In the fair he wants many things. What are they? Why does he move on without waiting for an answer? Answer: The things that he wants in the fair are:
- Balloons
- Toys
- Garlands of gulmohar
- Sweets from the sweet shop
- Watching the snake dancing at the tune of snake charmer
- Having a ride in the roundabout swing
Question 3.
When does he realise that he has lost his way? How have his anxiety and insecurity been described?
Answer:
The child sees a roundabout in the fair and gets attracted to it. He wants to have a ride on it. He asks his parents for permission to enjoy it. Having no response on the part of his parents he realises that he has lost his way. He starts crying bitterly at once and runs here and there in search of them.
Question 4.
Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that he had wanted earlier?
Answer: The lost child loses interest in the things that he had wanted earlier because the only thing that he wants at that moment is his parents. He is panic-stricken and he just wants to be united with them again.
