Chapter 1
1. What are the things the child sees on his way to the fair? Why does he lag behind?
He lags behind as he gets fascinated by these sights and stops to observe them.
2. In the fair he wants many things. What are they? Why does he move on without waiting for an answer?
Ans- The child wants toys, sweets, a garland, balloons, and a merry-go-round ride. He moves on without waiting for an answer, knowing his parents will refuse.
3. When does he realise that he has lost his way? How have his anxiety and insecurity been described?
His anxiety and insecurity are described through his panic, loud cries for his parents, and tears. Fear grips him, and he runs in all directions, feeling lost and helpless in the crowd.
4. Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that he had wanted earlier?
5. What do you think happens in the end? Does the child find his parents?
Ans- The story does not explicitly reveal the ending, leaving it open to interpretation. However, a kind-hearted man tries to comfort the lost child, which suggests hope. It is likely that the child eventually reunites with his parents, but until then, he remains anxious and desperate to find them.
