Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.”
He went North, Best Beloved, and he found All-the-Elephant-there-was digging with his tusks and stamping with his feet in the nice new clean earth that had been made ready for him. ‘Kun?’ said All-the-Elephant-there-was, meaning, ‘Is this right?’ ‘Payah kun,’ said the Eldest Magician, meaning, ‘That is quite right’; and he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth that All-the-Elephant-there-was had thrown up, and they became the great Himalayan Mountains, and you can look them out on the map. He went East, and he found All-the-Cow-there-was feeding in the field that had been made ready for her, and she licked her tongue round a whole forest at a time, and swallowed it and sat down to chew her cud. ‘Kun?’ said All-the-Cow-there-was. ‘Payah kun,’ said the Eldest Magician; and he breathed upon the bare patch where she had eaten, and upon the place where she had sat down, and one became the great Indian Desert, and the other became the Desert of Sahara, and you can look them out on the map.

Answer:
the repetition of words and patterns
the description of how geographical features were made
Explanation:
From the excerpt <em>The Crab That Played With The Sea</em>, the detail that supports the conclusion that the narrator is talking to a child is the repetition of words and patterns and the description of how geographical features were made.
According to the narration, the narrator has to repeat words and phrases so that the children can understand what he is saying and get clarity and this is common with children because some times they need something repeated to them before they can understand
Another evidence is the description of the geographical features as myths and legends instead of based on scientific evidence as children like myths and stories to stimulate their curiosity.
