Say why the speaker of the poem wishes to be a-
hawker
उत्तर
The speaker in the poem feels that there is nothing to hurry the hawker. There is no fixed road he must travel by, no place that he must go to, and no time when he must get back home. The speaker feels he is lucky and hence he wishes to be a hawker. It means that the speaker wants to be free to do what he wants and go where he wants to, without any restrictions.

They won’t eat peas, don’t like your bread -
For something in it crunches;

They won’t eat grapes in bunches.

“It’s bleeding,” they will say;
And gravely hand it to their mum

And calmly ask for more.

With picky little pests,
