Answer 1

The quotation that distinguishes the narrator's viewpoint from the viewpoint of the little boy when they first meet is:

“'Foreign devil,' he announced gravely."

This line highlights the boy's perspective, as he perceives the narrator as an outsider and responds with seriousness, while the narrator likely has a different understanding of their interaction.
