The poet narrates a small incident in the life of a little baby in the poem, accurately captures the little baby's momentary mood, and outlines a picture of lotus picking. In the summer when lotus flowers are in full bloom, innocent and lively children hold a small boat and secretly go to the pond to pick white lotus flowers to play with. I was so excited to collect lotus flowers that I had long forgotten that I had gone quietly without telling the adults. I didn't know how to hide my traces or didn't think of it, so I rowed the boat back in a swaggering manner.
