Why does the poet not offer money to the boy to buy another ball?

1 Answer

  1. The poet does not offer money to the boy so that he may be able to buy a new ball because he (the poet) feels that it would be useless to buy him a new ball. The boy had an emotional attachment with the ball. He cannot have the same emotions with the new ball. We can buy new balls but not emotions and attachment with money.
