The child sees a number of things which fascinate him on his way to the fair. First, he saw toys at a shop. Then he saw a flowering mustard field. In the fields, the child saw dragonflies bustling about on their wings and a lone black bee in search of sweetness from the flowers. Then while walking on the footpath he was attracted by the insects and worms. As he neared the village with his parents, he saw huge crowds of people going to the fair.
The child also came across a sweetmeat seller selling sweets like burfi and gulab jamun. A little further he came across a flower seller who was selling a garland of Gulmohar. Walking ahead, he saw a man selling rainbow-coloured balloons. He also saw a snake-charmer who stood playing a flute to a snake. Finally, he saw a roundabout in full swing. The child keeps lagging behind his parents because the child is fascinated by all the things he sees on his way. At times, he stops to be able to buy toys and at other times he stops to admire the beauty of the nature – collecting flowers, catching butterflies.
