उत्तर
A considerable number of footballs and cricket bats were forgotten by young sportsmen. Serious-minded ordinary citizens forget less. The author Lynd infers that the sportsmen’s forgetfulness is justified as their minds are full of the vision of the playing field. Their heads are in the stars and among the clouds. Keeping their hearts in boots, young sportsmen rush home to talk about their exploits and are naturally more absent-minded than serious-minded ordinary folks.
