What are the things the child sees on his way to the fair? Why does he lag behind?
The child sees numerable interesting things on his way to the fair which as follows:
- Firstly he saw the toys lined up at a shop.
- Then, he saw a flowering mustard field which seemed like gold.
- In the fields, the child also saw colourful dragon flies, butterflies fluttering their wings and bees sucking the nectar.
- Then, while walking on the footpath he saw the insects and worms crawling.
- When he entered the grove he could hear and see doves cooing.
- As he neared the village he saw huge crowd going to the fair
- The child also came across sweetmeat seller who were selling sweets like burfi and gulab jamun and a flower seller who was selling a garland of gulmohar
- Further ahead , he saw a man selling rainbow colour balloons.
- He also saw a snake charmer who stood playing a flute to a snake.
- Finally, before losing the track of his parents he saw a roundabout swing. On the way, the child often keeps lagging behind his parents and his mother and father have to constantly call him so that he doesn’t lag behind. That is because the child is lured by all the things which he sees on his way. Sometimes, he stops to buy the toys and at other times he stops to admire the beauty of the nature – collecting flowers, catching butterflies etc.
