It was spring. One little boy ran through his parents’s legs brimming with life and laughter. His parents called as he lagged behind fascinated by the toys in the shops that lined the way. He asked for a toy but his parents looked at him angrily. His mother tried to distract him.
He moves on forward and sees a man selling ballon’s and a snake charmer playing a flute to a snake. He knows his parents won’t let him have the ballon or listen to snake charmer, so he still doesn’t ask and keeps moving forward.
But when he sees the round about he asks his parents if could go on the round about. There was no reply. When he looked all around he saw that his parents weren’t there. He got scared and he stood there crying.

As he entered the grove a shower of young flowers fell on him. He started collecting them, but he heard the doves and flowers dropped from his forgotten hands
He ran looking for his parents. He could see through his filmy eyes men and women talking on the green grass. He tried to look intently through the people, but still no sign of his parents.
I want my mother! I want my father!
He saw a shrine where people were crowding. He ran through the peoples feet looking for his parents. The poor child struggled so much . He even might have been trampled under foot. A man saw him and helped him out the crowd.

The sweetmeat seller was selling many varieties of sweets including the child's favorite burfi. There also was a garland seller selling garlands of gulmohur. He knew his parents won’t let him have any of those so he didn’t ask them and kept moving.
The stranger tried to soothe the child by giving him ballons, garlands, sweets. He also took the child to the roundabout and the snake charmer. But all the the child did was cry “I want my mother! I want my father!”
