The Lost Child
Author: Mulk Raj Anand
(Q & A)
Q 1: What are the things the child sees on his way to the fair? Why is he lagging behind?
Answer: Moving from the wintry shades of lanes and alleys, walking into the narrow streets of the fair, the child saw several petty things, for instance he saw toys and got stuck there. Sweets, garlands, balloons etc. attracted his eyes. Everywhere, he stopped to have a closer look at some of his favourite things at different shops of the fair . So, he lagged behind every time.
