BEGGAR BOY
BRAZIL 1994
This little boy came up to me and begged for money. He looked a lot like my own 8 year old nephew so I was immediately drawn to him. He looked so scrawny and hungry. I gave him a dollar. He took my dollar and ran off. I watched him as he went up to a man and give this man my money.
The next day, he approached me again. “Hello Lady, I hungry, so hungry today”, he sadly told me.
I looked around and saw the man off in the distance. “What about the man?”, I asked as I pointed to him. The boy looked in the direction of the man, looked at me and ran off. He never begged from me again.
