(i) The speaker in the poem is a little boy.
(ii) He is curious, as he wants to go inside the shed and check for the ghost in it. His brother has told him stories about the ghost who resides there but he knew himself that there are no ghosts in reality.
(iii) He is planning to go inside the shed one day soon.
(iv) “But not just yet…………..” suggests his hesitation as he is just a small boy who is afraid of his elder brother.
The shed must be his brother `s hideout that he didn’t want to share with anyone. In order to keep younger brother away from going into shed he made false stories of ghost.
