     IT was the festival of spring. From the wintry shades of narrow lanes and alleys emerged a gaily clad humanity. Some walked, some rode on horses, others sat, being carried in bamboo and bullock carts. One little boy ran between his father’s legs, brimming over with life and laughter.
 
     “Come, child, come,” called his parents, as he lagged behind, fascinated by the toys in the shops that lined the way.
Explanation:
 
The story is set in spring. As the winter season had just ended, all the people came out of their houses. They were joyful as the chilling cold weather had ended. People travelled through different modes of transport like by foot, horses, bamboo carts, and bullock carts. A little child ran eagerly and often hit into his father’s legs. He was full of life, enthusiasm, and laughter.
 
The child was attracted to the toys which were exhibited at the various stalls. As he was left behind, his parents called him to come with them.
