I am Mohit. I study in class VIII. I go to school on my bicycle with my friends Amit and Rohit. On the way to school we pass by a huge garbage heap where the garbage from the entire neighborhood is dumped everyday. There we used to see some small boys busy picking up things and collecting them in their bags, we used to wonder what their life may be like but we never ventured to talk to them.
Yesterday one of them caught our attention when he rolled down the heap while collecting things. We rushed to help him. After laying him down under the shade of a nearby tree, and giving him some water and refreshment from our tiffin boxes, we sat down to talk with him.
He told us that his name was Siddu, and his parents were very poor. He lived in a small room which had a thatched roof. His mother worked as a maid servant in the Bungalow. His father did errands for the nearby shopkeeper. Siddu did not know to read or write. He had never seen a school.
For the past four years he had been working for a hawker who used to ask him to collect all the broken pieces of crockery, plastic bags and pieces of cloth from the garbage and give it to him. In return for this he would give him a meal per day.
We asked him whether that much food was enough for him for the whole day. He said that one meal was not enough so while picking up things from the garbage he would also look for food which had been discarded, empty food cans and bottles. There would surely be some food leftover in them.
We felt very bad for him. The next day I took my mother's permission and gave him my old clothes. Everyday we started giving him some food from our tiffin boxes and on Sundays we taught him how to read and write.
