Answer:
1. Coloring a book and conversing.
2. That a crayon is similar to people living life.
3. The old man may have spent his life trying to make his life perfect, therefore he 'colored' his life the best as he could. He used up all his energy trying to perfect his life for it to end with regrets, leaving him with a dull damaged crayon. So the old man advised the child in a way that the child could understand, to live the life he couldn't by embracing the imperfect things in life and to live with no regrets.
