CBSE Class 5 Hindi Worksheet Chapter 9 Ek Maa Ki Bebasi - PDF

Although the boy was similar to the neighbourhood children in appearance, he was unable to speak. He used to come to play every day with the children. Every child used to see the boy with wonder as he was quite different from others. The poet reminisces that the children used to be a little scared of Ratan as they couldn’t understand either Ratan’s gestures or his nervousness. There was always fear in Ratan’s eyes.

Ratan’s mother used to sit beside him as long as he used to play with the children. Her eyes were always on her child Ratan. The poet tells that back then he was a kid too and could not realise the helplessness. But now he is a full grown-up and wiser too. Now, he understands the helplessness of Ratan’s mother. The poet says that the mother was more helpless than her son Ratan. Growing up the poet realises the pain and helplessness of the mother.
