Explanation:

"Games at Twilight" is a short story by author Anita Desai. The children of a well-off Indian family go outside to play in the yard in a hot summer afternoon. According to the narrator, play is children's proper business, as we can see in the excerpt below:

The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business. The business of the children’s day which is—play.

It's as if the narrator conveys the idea that playing, for children, is a serious as work is for adults. It's just something they must do and excel at. As the story progresses, we get to accompany Ravi, a small boy who hides at a dark and scary shed, determined to win the game and receive all the glory. Unfortunately, the other kids forget about Ravi and, upon coming out from hiding, he feels frustrated and insignificant.
