Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow in your words:

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain or in the snow. His first visit to seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains; he is not free to do what he wishers to; he is continually being told not to do things being punished. His life, therefore, not perfectly happy.
