The Lost Child Summary

It was spring time. A child was going with his
parents to visit a spring fair. He was very
happy and excited. He was attracted by the
toys in the shops that lined the way. He
pleaded with his parents to buy him a toy. His
father gave him a stern look. His mother
diverted his attention to a flowering
mustard-field. The child ran into the field.
Some dragon-flies were bustling about on
their colourful wings. He tried to catch them.
Then his mother called out to him. He ran
towards his parents. He walked abreast of
them for a while. However, he was soon left
behind, attracted by the little insects along
the footpath. His parents called out to him.
They had seated themselves in the shade of a
grove.
A shower of young flowers fell upon the child
as he entered the grove. Forgetting his
parents, he began to gather the petals in his
hands. The parents called out to him. They
gathered him up and took the narrow,
winding footpath which led to the fair
through the mustard-fields. At the corner of
the entrance, a sweetmeat-seller was calling
out to people. The child's mouth watered for
a 'burfi'. He murmured softly that he wanted
a 'burfi'. But he knew that his request would
not be heeded. So he moved on. He also felt
drawn towards the flower-seller but moved
on.
A little further, a man was selling colourful
balloons. The child wanted to have them all.
But he knew that his parents would not buy
him the balloons. So he walked on. A snake-
charmer stood playing a flute to a snake. His
parents had forbidden him to hear the coarse
music of snake-charmers. So he again moved
on. He saw a roundabout in full swing. People
were going round and round in it. He
requested his parents to let him go on the
roundabout. But there was no reply.
He turned round and found that his parents
were not there. He started crying and ran
from one side to another. He did not know
where to go. He ran to a temple crying for his
parents. A man in the crowd heard his cry. He
lifted him up in his arms. He took him to the
roundabout but the child refused to go on it.
The man then took him near the snake-
charmer and then near the balloon-man but
the child turned his eyes away. He only wept
for his parents. The man next took him to the
flower-seller and then to the sweet-shop also.
But the child now wanted nothing except the
company of his parents. He lost interest in all
the things that he had wanted earlier. Thus
the writer wants to tell us that a child cannot
live without his parents.
