In the line “In the fair he wants many things,” the “he” refers to the little boy in the story The Lost Child (often taught in Class‑9 English).

What things does he want?

In the fair, the child is drawn to several attractions and desires:

  • A toy from the toy‑seller.
  • Burfi (his favourite sweet) from the sweetmeat seller.
  • A garland of gulmohar flowers.
  • Colourful balloons.
  • A ride on the roundabout (merry‑go‑round).

These items reflect a typical child’s excitement and curiosity at a village fair.

Why does he move on without waiting for an answer?

The child does not wait for his parents’ reply because he already expects them to refuse every time he asks.

  • He knows his parents think he is too old for toys and balloons.
  • They also consider such things cheap or unnecessary , so he quietly moves on instead of insisting.

In short, his silent movement shows both his desire for the fair’s delights and his awareness of his parents’ strictness , which makes him give up without even asking.
