Detailed explanation-1: -The poet says “I will not intrude on him” because he wants the boy to learn the meaning of loss on his own.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : The poet did not console the boy for two reasons.-one, the boy was too shocked and grief – stricken to listen to any sense, second, the poet also observed that the boy was trying to stand-up or bear the loss on his own through self-understanding which is much more reflective and lasting.
Detailed explanation-3: -Offering him money to buy another ball would also be futile because the boy can never truly recover what he has lost. The poet wants the boy to learn about responsibility and to know how to keep moving forward even in the face of suffering and loss. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -The poet suggests that from the loss of the ball, the boy is learning how to stand up in a world of possessions where he will lose things, will buy some more to replace the ones lost, but would never be able to buy back the thing that he had lost. He is sensing his first responsibility as he has lost the ball.
