The Lost Child

Burfi (sweet), Gulmohur garland, Colorful balloons, Ride on the roundabout

The child wanted burfi (his favorite sweet), gulmohur garland, colorful balloons, and a ride on the roundabout. He was attracted to the snake charmer but didn't want the flute - his parents had forbidden such music.

There was no reply from his parents

The story clearly states 'There was no reply' when the child asked to go on the roundabout. This is when he discovered his parents were missing.

Panic-stricken, Fearful, Crying

The story describes the child as 'panic-stricken', filled with 'real fear', and crying 'hot and fierce' tears when he realized his parents were gone.

Among people on the green grass, To a shrine with crowds, Through people's legs

The child looked among people on green grass, ran to a shrine where people were crowding, and ran through people's legs searching desperately for his parents.
