Answers
Answer:
I was reading a book when I noticed the
child standing on the road alone. She
was a small girl, around ten years of age,
probably. She was wearing a very old
dress and her hair was unkempt. She
looked so frail as if she hadn't eaten for a
long time.
Her eyes were sunken and her hands
were shabby. I noticed that she was
begging all the passers-by. Some were
kind enough to give her a few coins. She
collected whatever she got and put it in a
small container.
A passer-by gave her some food in a
parcel. Just as I was thinking she was
going to open the packet and eat the
food, she ran to a tree a few yards away.
l opened the window wide to see what
she was doing. To my amazement, there
was a little boy seated there, maybe a
couple of years younger than her. She
sat down next to the boy, opened the
food packet and started to feed him
while eating a little herself.
I was so taken in by her attitude that
I called out to her. She looked in the
direction of my voice and came running.
Tinquired about her parents and she said
that they had gone to a fair and had lost
her parents in the crowd.
l asked her if she talked to any police
personnel and she said she didn't know
about it. She said she would beg by
daylight and sleep in a temple nearby in
the night.
I took her to the police station and
lodged a complaint. I also called the
Children's Home nearby and asked
them for their help till the children were
restored to their rightful parents.
The police and the Home authorities
were kind enough and I came home
praying that the family should reunite
quickly.
