1. “We should feel happy with what he had and never go after what we can’t get”. How has the poet brought about this message in the poem ‘The Blind Boy’? OR Summary of the poem ‘The Blind Boy’
Ans.: This poem peeps into the feelings of a boy who cannot see. The blind boy is the speaker in the poem. He wonders what light is like for he has never seen it.
He wishes to know what his blessings of sight are. People around him talk of the beautiful things they see. They say that the sun shines bright but he can only feel the warmth of the sun. He cannot understand how the sun brings about night and day. To him, day is when he is awake and night when he sleeps. So if he remained awake it would continue to be day for him.
The blind boy hears people pitying him but he does not feel sorry for himself. He decides that he will not make himself unhappy over something he cannot get. He would be happy as a King by being ever cheerful.
