Question

When does he realise that he has lost his way? How have his anxiety and insecurity been described?

Answer

The child realises he has lost his way when he asks for a ride on the roundabout and gets no response. When he turns around to look for his parents, he finds they are not there.

His anxiety and insecurity are described as follows:

  1. Physical Reaction: A deep cry rises within his dry throat, and he runs frantically in all directions calling "Mother, Father."

  2. Fear: His eyes become red and swollen with tears, and he is struck with intense panic.

  3. Appearance: His yellow turban comes untied, and his clothes become muddy as he runs around helplessly looking for them.
