Answer:
A Childhood Saved
It had been over two hours waiting for the train. Rubi was getting restless.
Suddenly she noticed a child begging at the platform. He appeared to be a
little, sweet boy who had a small bag on his shoulder. She noticed a book in his
bag. Rubi was eager to know where the child lived. There was still more
than an hour left for her train to arrive. So, she got up and started following
him.
The boy moved out of the station and entered a slum nearby. He got into a
house which appeared to be a very dirty and unhygienic place. There were
other child beggars in the house who were in the age group of 5 — 12 years.
They were thin and weak. They had money but nothing to eat. Just then, a
burly man entered the house. The children became quiet. He asked them for
the money that they had collected by begging. The poor children handed all
the money they had to him.
Rubi understood that it was a racket of child beggars. She felt pity for those
small children. She decided to inform the police. The police and an NGO
‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’ soon reached the place. The man was perplexed on
seeing the police. The police arrested him and the children were sent under
the protection of the NGO from where they would be sent to their homes.
Rubi felt relieved and was appreciated by everyone. She was later rewarded
by the government for her effort in rescuing the children.
