BEGGAR BOY- BRAZIL 1994

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 him 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.
