iii) The speaker, the Old Owl, referred to them as ‘idle and lazy’ because Jeev was wishing for these “little men” to do all the work for him and his sister.

Juliana Horatia Ewing (1841-1885) was a well-regarded British writer of children's books during the 19th century. She is best known for her imaginative, evocative stories that skillfully blend realistic, thoughtful characters with enchanting fantasy elements. Several of her works, such as "The Story of a Short Life" and "Jackanapes," have become classics of children's literature.
Despite facing health issues throughout her life, Ewing wrote lavishly, making significant contributions to children's literature. Aside from her stories, she also penned verses, essays, and contributed to various periodicals. She was also deeply interested in 'folk and fairy tales', and a recurring theme in her work is the moral and character development of children by learning from their own experiences, much as seen in the story "Finding Self."
Ewing's stories had a substantial influence on children's literature, and she had a distinctive gift for understanding the mind of a child, which is clearly reflected in her writing. Her works continue to intrigue and impress readers of all ages, even today.
