उत्तर
The author had self-pity and was cursing the accident that had caused him and his wife great pain and inconveniences in the daily routine. But the two little boys, one almost scarred to death with both eyes gone and the other with an amputated arm and no hope of recovery were together celebrating the joy of being alive. They minded the business of living ignoring pain, surgery, and the sickly environment. Dr. Barnard learned the lesson from the children that the business of living is joy in the real sense of the word. It was not just something for pleasure, amusement, or recreation.
