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. He does not offer him money to buy another ball because according to him, money or another ball is worthless.
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet says that he would not intrude on the boy at such a moment because he wants the boy to learn a valuable lesson from this experience. Offering him money to buy another ball would also be futile because the boy can never truly recover what he has lost.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The poet says that he will not intrude upon the boy because he must learn to tolerate loss. The poet emphasises this loss. He thinks that money cannot compensate for the sense of loss. So he doesn’t give the boy money or buy another ball for him.
