Question

“I sometimes find a rupee, even a ten-rupee note.” Saheb says, his eyes lighting up. When
you can find a silver coin in a heap of garbage, you don’t stop scrounging for there is
hope of finding more. It seems that for children, garbage has a meaning different from
what it means to their parents. For the children it is wrapped in wonder, for the elders it is
a means of survival.
