The Lost Child
- Mulk Raj Anand
Answers to NCERT Questions
THINK ABOUT IT
1. What are the things the child sees on his way to the
fair? Why does he lag behind?
Ans: On his way to the fair, the child sees toys, a host of
dragon flies and as he walks along with his parents, he is showered with the
petals of fragrant flowers. He is now distracted by doves, and he goes skipping
around the banyan tree in search of them. He being a small child lags behind as
he is attracted to everything he lays his curious eyes on.
2. In the fair he wants many things. What are they? Why does
he move on without waiting for an answer?
Ans: At the fair, the little boy murmured softly that he
wanted burfi from the sweetmeat seller, flowers from the flower seller,
balloons from the balloon seller, and to listen to the music of the snake
charmer. He moves on without waiting for an answer because he knew that his
parents would find an excuse for not fulfilling any of his demands. The only
demand he voiced loudly was that he wanted to go on the roundabout.
3. When does he realise that he has lost his way? How have
his anxiety and insecurity been described?
Ans: The little boy realised that he had lost his way, when
his request for a ride on the roundabout was met with a silence. When he turned
around to look at his parents, he realised that they were not to be seen
anywhere. His reaction was a full, deep cry that rose from within his dry throat,
his body convulsed and he began crying with fear and anxiety. Wailing loudly,
he runs around wildly, shouting out for his parents in absolute desperation.
4. Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that
he had wanted earlier?
Ans: The boy was suddenly noticed by a man in the crowd who
lifted him in his arms and tried to console him. In his attempt at calming down
the child, he offers him everything the child had been wanting his parents to
buy him. He has only one reply to the gentleman and that was, тАЬI want my
mother, I want my father. The little child loses interest in everything around
him because he yearns to be with his family, who he had left behind somewhere
in the crowded fair as he absent-mindedly capers around enjoying and wanting the
various things on display.
5. What do you think happens in the end? Does the child find
his parents?
Ans: The author has always empathised with the weak,
troubled, suppressed and down trodden. In this lesson, the little child, who
loses his parents as he innocently saunters into the fair, is desperate,
anxious, and inconsolable. A good Samaritan picks up the boy and tries his best
to pacify him and offers him toys, sweets, flowers and balloons to stop the
outburst and wailing. The author has introduced this character, who was
different from all the other indifferent and unconcerned people in the crowd,
with the intention of a happy ending. He would have definitely gone out of his
way to unite the child with his parents. On the other hand, the parents also
would have made intense efforts to secure their child, and the threesome would
have been united.
Additional Questions
Short Answer Questions (30-40 words: 2 Marks each)
1. How does the author introduce the lesson?
Ans: The author introduces the lesson with the spring season
when rural India celebrates the occasion with fun, fair and festivities. The
story begins with a picture of colourfully dressed people who are walking,
riding or being carried along the road. The atmosphere is full of joy and laughter.
2. How has the child been introduced?
Ans: The child has been shown to be displaying all the
characteristics of any child of his age. He is happy and eager to go to the
fair, jumping along aimlessly, and wishing to possess everything he laid his eyes
on. However, he does not voice his desires loudly because he is aware of the
strictness of his thrifty parents. A naughty, lively, obedient and affectionate
character.
3. His mother, melted by the free spirit of the day was
tender and giving him her finger to hold, said, тАЬlook child, what is before
you! Explain.
Ans: The tender heart of the mother melts when her son is
upset for having been refused a toy by his father. To pacify him, divert his
attention, and to enjoy the day whole-heartedly, she tells her son to look at
the beautiful mustard fields that were in full bloom.
4. What were the excuses that the child envisage that his
parents would make?
Ans: The child made his requests for various things in
murmurs because he knew that if he asked for sweets, he would be called greedy.
Flowers would be termed cheap, he would be considered too old to play with
balloons, and listening to the music of the snake charmer was forbidden as it
was тАШcoarseтАЩ.
5. What difference do you notice in the childтАЩs behaviour
before and after he gets lost?
Ans: In the initial stages of the story, we see a happy
little child, enjoying the scenes and sights all around him. He desires to own
some of the things he sees, but gets easily distracted by his mother who
encourages her son to enjoy the beauties of nature. He is very afraid of his
father. However, after he gets lost, he is seen to be in a state of panic, and
does not get pacified by any of the things he was enticed with by his saviour.
All that he wanted now, was to be in the secure hands of his dear parents.

Ans. No , the child didn't make a deliberate mistake in the
lesson 'тАЩThe Lost ChildтАЩ because as we all know that the child is not to ager
he didn't have a sense to collaborate with the situation. As he was only a
child he also has some desires. His parents must understand that he is a child
and should have met his needs.

OR
The little boy at first desired to have everything he saw
around but when he got lost and his parents were not with him he lost the
desire for them. At that time he only wanted his parents. The author portrays
the child's feelings really well. When we have our parents around we take them
for granted bit we only understand their true value when they go away from us.

Ans. A snake charmer stood playing a flute to a snake, its
head raised in a graceful bend like the neck of a swan. The music stole his
attention and attracted the boy toward him, but he knew that his parents would
not allow, so he proceeded further.

The child went away from the snake charmer because he knows
well that his parents will not accept his demands.

Security for children
By Simson / Simple
It is always a good idea to make sure the kids are with
their parents especially in crowded places. It is also important to teach the
children the phone numbers of their parents so that they can contact them when
they are lost. Like in the story the lost child, the kid was just so excited
that the lost the sight of his parents and wandered around looking at the
activities happening around the fair.
Tips for Teaching Your Kid What to Do If They Get Lost
Let's explore six lessons you can teach your kids that can
keep them safe if they get lost.
Make sure your child memorizes your full name, your phone
number, and your address. Some children as young as 3 may be able to
remember a parentтАЩs cell phone number. Also, make sure your child knows your
first and last names. Keep in mind, however, that some young children might
forget your first names since they donтАЩt use them to refer to their
parents.
If your child is too young to memorize your information,
write it down on a piece of paper and tuck it away in a secure place like a
shoe or pocket. Remind your child where the paper is before heading to your
destination so they can tell a safe adult that itтАЩs there in case you are
separated.
Have your child practice calling your phone. This
is particularly useful with older children once they learn to use a phone.
You can have them call your cell phone from a landline or another phone.
Teach your child how to ask for help safely. Rather
than teach your child not to ever talk to strangers,
empower your child and tell them to ask a mom with a child for help. If they
canтАЩt spot one, tell them to look for a woman, a store salesperson with a
nametag, or a security guard.
Teach them to tell that adult that they are lost and to give
their full name, your phone number, your name, and other basic information.
Tell your child to never go looking for you if they get
lost. The best thing for them to do is to stay right where they are so
that you can come and find them.
Make learning these tips fun. A good way to do
that is to watch a safety video like "The Safe SideтАФStranger
Safety: Hot Tips to Keep Cool Kids Safe With People They Don't Know and Kinda
Know," created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
It delivers important safety information, such as what to do
when you are separated from your parent, in a fun and easy-to-understand way
thatтАЩs perfect for children. Watch it as a family every once in a while to
refresh their memory.
The NCMEC also operates a website called Kid Smartz. It is filled
with valuable information for parents, more videos for kids, and activities
that can continue your safety lessons.
Practice the тАЬwhat ifsтАЭ with your child. Go over
these tips periodically, especially before heading out to a crowded location
such as a park, playground, or another public area.
Keep in mind that you should never put your child in danger
when practicing. Simple questions and answers will do.
The NCMEC recommends going over various types of scenarios
such as:
- тАЬWhat
would you do if you couldnтАЩt see me?тАЭ
- тАЬWhat
would you do if you donтАЩt see a mom with a child right away after you realize
we had been separated?тАЭ
- тАЬWhat
would you do if a stranger said you should go with them to find me?тАЭ
When you are out and about, practice these tips with your
child by asking which of the adults around you they would approach if they were
lost.
2. Make a diary entry as the man who saved the child.

Dear Diary,
Today I had seen a lost child in the fair, where I had gone.
But the main topic that I want to share with you is that the boy I saw today looked
innocent and when I saw him, I just remembered my childhood. He was crying and
saying that тАЬI want my parentsтАЭ and I show a feeling of sympathy about him and
just want to help him. Finally I had an idea in my mind and just quickly reported
to the nearby police station and the good news is that after few hours police
found his parents . This was really a memorizing moment for me.
Good night.

Ans.
In the story the little boy's parents were protective
towards their son . The little boy's father was strict but quite good . The
little boy's mother wanted her son to enjoy the beauty of nature rather than
wasting time on toys . They both wanted their son to be discipline , good .
They are impressive and protective towards their son . They both wanted their
son to be good, discipline, enjoy his life and know more . So, they did not
bought any of the toys for him when the little boy asked for toys . They are
really good parents .
Or
Character of the little boy's parents:
The child was very playful and thoroughly fascinated and
attracted by all the things he saw when he was with his parents. On route to
the fair he pranced about the mustard field, went around the banyan tree, tried
to catch the insects in the field, but they got away. His parents always
cautioned him to come back to them whenever he let go of their hand. The little
boy was attracted by the sweets, toys, garlands etc at the fair, but never
really asked for any of them since he knew his parents will not buy it for him.
In spite of this, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and was very lively.
But, somewhere in the middle of the fair he was separated
from his parents and was completely lost. He was very unhappy when he was not
able to find his parents. All his excitement and happiness and attraction
towards everything in the fair vanished. He met a kind hearted stranger who
offered him many things to pacify him, but he did not want any garlands or
toys, just wanted his parents. This shows that the little boy even though
playful and desirous of a number of things, but once his parents were not their
he was sad and affected by his parents absence. The little boy like any other
child missed his parents immensely when he was separated from them.

Ans: The little boy realised that he had lost his way, when
his request for a ride on the roundabout was met with a silence. When he turned
around to look at his parents, he realised that they were not to be seen
anywhere. His reaction was a full, deep cry that rose from within his dry
throat, his body convulsed and he began crying with fear and anxiety. Wailing
loudly, he runs around wildly, shouting out for his parents in absolute
desperation.

4. Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that
he had wanted earlier?
Ans: The boy was suddenly noticed by a man in the crowd who
lifted him in his arms and tried to console him. In his attempt at calming down
the child, he offers him everything the child had been wanting his parents to
buy him. He has only one reply to the gentleman and that was, тАЬI want my
mother, I want my father. The little child loses interest in everything around
him because he yearns to be with his family, who he had left behind somewhere
in the crowded fair as he absent-mindedly capers around enjoying and wanting
the various things on display.

5. What do you think happens in the end? Does the child find
his parents?
Ans: The author has always empathised with the weak,
troubled, suppressed and down trodden. In this lesson, the little child, who
loses his parents as he innocently saunters into the fair, is desperate, anxious,
and inconsolable. A good Samaritan picks up the boy and tries his best to
pacify him and offers him toys, sweets, flowers and balloons to stop the
outburst and wailing. The author has introduced this character, who was
different from all the other indifferent and unconcerned people in the crowd,
with the intention of a happy ending. He would have definitely gone out of his
way to unite the child with his parents. On the other hand, the parents also
would have made intense efforts to secure their child, and the threesome would
have been united.

5. What difference do you notice in the childтАЩs behaviour
before and after he gets lost?
Ans: In the initial stages of the story, we see a happy
little child, enjoying the scenes and sights all around him. He desires to own
some of the things he sees, but gets easily distracted by his mother who
encourages her son to enjoy the beauties of nature. He is very afraid of his
father. However, after he gets lost, he is seen to be in a state of panic, and
does not get pacified by any of the things he was enticed with by his saviour.
All that he wanted now, was to be in the secure hands of his dear parents.

Ans. No , the child didn't make a deliberate mistake in the
lesson 'тАЩThe Lost ChildтАЩ because as we all know that the child is not to ager
he didn't have a sense to collaborate with the situation. As he was only a
child he also has some desires. His parents must understand that he is a child
and should have met his needs.

arrogant behaviour?

Ans. No, the boy didnтАЩt show any kind of arrogant behaviour rather
he was pretty much matured and concerned with his parents. When he was lost and
the helpful man offered him all his desires, he refused all the offerings and only
wanted his parents.
3. Describe the emotional turmoil experienced by the little

Ans. The little boy realised that he had lost his way, when
his request for a ride on the roundabout was met with a silence. When he turned
around to look at his parents, he realised that they were not to be seen
anywhere. His reaction was a full, deep cry that rose from within his dry
throat, his body convulsed and he began crying with fear and anxiety. Wailing
loudly, he runs around wildly, shouting out for his parents in absolute desperation.
OR
The little boy at first desired to have everything he saw
around but when he got lost and his parents were not with him he lost the
desire for them. At that time he only wanted his parents. The author portrays
the child's feelings really well. When we have our parents around we take them
for granted bit we only understand their true value when they go away from us.

Ans. A snake charmer stood playing a flute to a snake, its
head raised in a graceful bend like the neck of a swan. The music stole his
attention and attracted the boy toward him, but he knew that his parents would
not allow, so he proceeded further.
OR
The child went away from the snake charmer because he knows
well that his parents will not accept his demands.

Security for children
By Simson / Simple
It is always a good idea to make sure the kids are with
their parents especially in crowded places. It is also important to teach the
children the phone numbers of their parents so that they can contact them when
they are lost. Like in the story the lost child, the kid was just so excited
that the lost the sight of his parents and wandered around looking at the
activities happening around the fair.
Tips for Teaching Your Kid What to Do If They Get Lost
Let's explore six lessons you can teach your kids that can
keep them safe if they get lost.
Make sure your child memorizes your full name, your phone
number, and your address. Some children as young as 3 may be able to
remember a parentтАЩs cell phone number. Also, make sure your child knows your
first and last names. Keep in mind, however, that some young children might
forget your first names since they donтАЩt use them to refer to their
parents.
If your child is too young to memorize your information,
write it down on a piece of paper and tuck it away in a secure place like a
shoe or pocket. Remind your child where the paper is before heading to your
destination so they can tell a safe adult that itтАЩs there in case you are
separated.
Have your child practice calling your phone. This
is particularly useful with older children once they learn to use a phone.
You can have them call your cell phone from a landline or another phone.
Teach your child how to ask for help safely. Rather
than teach your child not to ever talk to strangers,
empower your child and tell them to ask a mom with a child for help. If they
canтАЩt spot one, tell them to look for a woman, a store salesperson with a
nametag, or a security guard.
Teach them to tell that adult that they are lost and to give
their full name, your phone number, your name, and other basic information.
Tell your child to never go looking for you if they get
lost. The best thing for them to do is to stay right where they are so
that you can come and find them.
Make learning these tips fun. A good way to do
that is to watch a safety video like "The Safe SideтАФStranger
Safety: Hot Tips to Keep Cool Kids Safe With People They Don't Know and Kinda
Know," created by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
It delivers important safety information, such as what to do
when you are separated from your parent, in a fun and easy-to-understand way
thatтАЩs perfect for children. Watch it as a family every once in a while to
refresh their memory.
The NCMEC also operates a website called Kid Smartz. It is filled
with valuable information for parents, more videos for kids, and activities
that can continue your safety lessons.
Practice the тАЬwhat ifsтАЭ with your child. Go over
these tips periodically, especially before heading out to a crowded location
such as a park, playground, or another public area.
Keep in mind that you should never put your child in danger
when practicing. Simple questions and answers will do.
The NCMEC recommends going over various types of scenarios
such as:
- тАЬWhat
would you do if you couldnтАЩt see me?тАЭ
- тАЬWhat
would you do if you donтАЩt see a mom with a child right away after you
realize we had been separated?тАЭ
- тАЬWhat
would you do if a stranger said you should go with them to find me?тАЭ
When you are out and about, practice these tips with your
child by asking which of the adults around you they would approach if they were
lost.

Ans.
In the story the little boy's parents were protective
towards their son . The little boy's father was strict but quite good . The
little boy's mother wanted her son to enjoy the beauty of nature rather than
wasting time on toys . They both wanted their son to be discipline , good .
They are impressive and protective towards their son . They both wanted their
son to be good, discipline, enjoy his life and know more . So, they did not
bought any of the toys for him when the little boy asked for toys . They are
really good parents .
Or
Character of the little boy's parents:
The child was very playful and thoroughly fascinated and
attracted by all the things he saw when he was with his parents. On route to
the fair he pranced about the mustard field, went around the banyan tree, tried
to catch the insects in the field, but they got away. His parents always
cautioned him to come back to them whenever he let go of their hand. The little
boy was attracted by the sweets, toys, garlands etc at the fair, but never really
asked for any of them since he knew his parents will not buy it for him. In
spite of this, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and was very lively.
But, somewhere in the middle of the fair he was separated
from his parents and was completely lost. He was very unhappy when he was not
able to find his parents. All his excitement and happiness and attraction
towards everything in the fair vanished. He met a kind hearted stranger who
offered him many things to pacify him, but he did not want any garlands or toys,
just wanted his parents. This shows that the little boy even though playful and
desirous of a number of things, but once his parents were not their he was sad
and affected by his parents absence. The little boy like any other child missed
his parents immensely when he was separated from them.
