Why does the poet say, ‘I would not intrude on him”? Why doesn’t he offer him money to buy another ball?

The poet wants the boy to understand the loss. He wants him to learn that it is a part of life. That’s why the poet doesn’t want to get in the way of the boy and doesn’t want to offer him money to buy another ball.
