The Lost Child by Mulk Raj Anand - Notes_Grade 9 - Parveen2022.pdf
It was the season of spring. The people of the village came out of their houses, in colourful attire and walked towards the fair. A child along with his parents was going to the fair and was very excited and happy. He was attracted to the stalls of toys and sweets. Though his father got angry, his mother pacified him and diverted his attention toward other things. The child moved forward but once again lagged because his eyes were caught by one thing or the other, every now and then.
As they moved forward, the child wanted the various things on the stalls. His mouth watered seeing sweets decorated with gold and silver leaves.
He wanted his favourite burfi but knowing that his parents would refuse on the ground that he was greedy, he walked ahead. Then he saw the beautiful garlands of Gulmohar but didn’t ask for them, then he saw balloons, but he knew very well that his parents would deny it because he was too old to play with balloons, so he walked away.
Then he saw a snake charmer and a roundabout swing. As he stopped to ask his parents for permission to enjoy the swing, to his astonishment, there was no reply. Neither his father nor his mother was there. Now the child realized that he was lost. He ran here and there but could not find them. The place was overcrowded. He got terrified but suddenly a kind-hearted man took him up in his arms and consoled the bitterly weeping child. He asked if he would like to have a joyride, but the child sobbed “I want my father, I want my mother.” The man offered him sweets, balloons, and garland but the child kept sobbing “I want my father, I want my mother.”

A tiger in the Zoo
The poem describes a tiger confined to a small zoo cage that longs for the freedom of the wilderness.
