The evidence that best supports the conclusion that the narrator is telling this story with a particular child in mind is “Pau Amma’s babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!”
Explanation:
In this part of the excerpt the writer seems to be talking about the story or perhaps a past experience of a specific young person passing through the experience of taking the Pau Amma’s babies out of their little Pusat Taseks and being nipped with their scissors, as if the writer talks to this person about the teaching they got out of that.
He uses a technique called enjambment. It is when you don't end your thought within a single line, but transfer it to the next line of the poem, which is evident here.
