In the text, Annes jung clarified this statement with her own example. She had made a promise to open a school to Saheb (jokingly) but another day when saheb asked him whether the school was ready or not, she could not answer that.It shows that promises made to poor children are never kept.Entire world is full of such hollow promises.

Promises that are made to children are indeed not kept can be explained from the text "lost spring" where author is very intrigued by the lifestyle of Saheb and his other friends and family and wanted to know about them, she asks him why doesnt he go to school which later she realised how vague her question must havebeen sounded, but to her question Saheb answers that there is no school nearby and when there will be one he will go to it. Authors furthur asks him that if she will built a school woulf he come? Listening to this Saheb's eyes shined which made the author very guilty because this was a promise of hers that was made to be unkept and then later did she realise that there must be many such promises made by many people like her to poor children. Hence, making promises which are made to be unkept fills these childrens' world with darkness and therefore have to live in a bleak world full of unkept promises.
