(i) Who is the speaker in the poem? Who are the people the speaker meets? What are they doing?

(ii) What wishes does the child in the poem make? Why does the child want to be a hawker, a gardener, or a watchman?

the child has to do, or must not do.

Make a list of the do's and don'ts that the child doesn't like.

The first line is done for you.

`tt(("The child must" , "The child must not") , ( "come home at a fixed time." , " get his clothes dirty in the dust."))`
