Introduction 

Explanation

Stanza 1 

If all the laddoos were one Laddoo
Oh! What a BIG Laddoo it would be!

In this first part of the poem, the poet is imagining what it would be like if there was only one big Laddoo, instead of many small ones. A Laddoo is a sweet treat that many children love to eat. The poet is thinking that if we put all the laddoos together, they would make one big Laddoo. This makes us think about how something small can become something really big when we put it all together. It’s fun to imagine how big and delicious that one big Laddoo would be!

Stanza 2 

In this stanza, the poet is now thinking about children. If all the children in the world were turned into one big child, that child would be very big! This makes us think about all the fun and laughter that children bring. The big child would have the energy and joy of all the children combined. It’s a silly and happy thought to imagine how much fun this big child would have, playing and laughing with everyone!

Stanza 3 

Now, the poet is looking at the sea. There are many seas in the world, and if we put them all together, we would have one big sea! This sea would be so big that it could hold so much water. The poet wants us to imagine how vast and endless this big sea would be. It’s a fun picture to think about, swimming and playing in such a huge sea, where the waves would be huge and the water would sparkle under the sun!

Stanza 4 

In this stanza, we see the big child from before. This big child is now picking up the giant Laddoo we imagined. It’s like a fun story where the big child is reaching for the big sweet treat. The poet is bringing together all the fun things from the earlier stanzas. It’s very exciting to think about what the big child will do with the big Laddoo!

Stanza 5

In the last part of the poem, the big child throws the big Laddoo into the big sea. When the Laddoo hits the water, it makes a big splash! This is a funny and joyful image. The poet is showing us how fun it would be to see a big splash made by a big Laddoo in a big sea. It makes us smile and think about how fun it is when things mix together, like sweets and water. The big splash is the happy ending to our fun story!
