I was walking to school after buying some food. I noticed these happy, excited faces as they continued to run. The little one stopped beside me, looked up at me, and asked for the food I carried. I asked him:
“I’ll give you some of my food if you answer my question. Is that okay?”
“Okay!”
“Why were you running?”
“It is because we saw a lady throw some packed lunch into the garbage can.”
“But it’s dirty. You might get sick.”
“Yes. But it is how we have lived until now.”
I was so moved by what he said that I gave them my food and some money for drinks.
