The sad boy
On my vacation, I saw a group of boys playing with toy pistols. One of them suddenly held the gun at his head. He wasn’t so old, 6 or 7 years maybe. He had tearful eyes, and a face of missery, which I will never forget. His clothes was dirty, and old.
He was terrified when he first saw me, but by giving him a piece of bread, he slowly told me he was an orphan. He also told me his name was Jamie. The other boys had been teasing him in a game, they were playing. The game was about who was the weakest link. All the boys worked together in a shop and in return the children were given a place to sleep and meals once a day. If they had been working hard enough, they might would have been given to meals a day. If the opposite, they would get beaten up by their master. There were 6 boys in the beginning, but one of them was to weak, and therefore he losen his job and starved to death.
