Give one reason why the grass is cold.
The grass is cold because it is evening time and the sun has set.
As darkness falls ('blue dark turns to black'), the temperature drops, making the grass cold. The absence of sunlight during late evening causes the ground and grass to lose heat and become cold.
Explanation
The poem mentions 'When blue dark turns to black' indicating evening transitioning to night. During this time, without sunlight, the grass loses the warmth absorbed during the day and becomes cold. The children feel this cold grass on their feet as they continue playing into the evening.
