\u201cWe will go to the city, where you can have toys to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rohan was happy, as he walked hand in hand with his mother towards the bus stop.<\/p>\n
After a long wait, the bus came.<\/p>\n
Kamli helped Rohan climb inside. She took the empty seat near the door and put her large sack between her legs. Rohan sat on the sack.<\/p>\n
They were both hungry.<\/p>\n
There was a girl travelling on the bus along with her father. She was Rohan\u2019s age.<\/p>\n
She was eating biscuits from a pack held by her father. She was looking outside and enjoying the feel of the wind on her face.<\/p>\n
Rohan was looking at her. His mouth watered. His tummy growled.<\/p>\n
He wanted something to eat. He wanted some biscuits.<\/p>\n
\u201cMa, I am very hungry. Can I get something to eat? Can I have one biscuit?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kamli caressed his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, my son. We will have all the tasty food once we reach the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
The girl\u2019s father overheard them, and he understood that they were hungry.<\/p>\n
He opened his bag, took out two packs of biscuits, and handed them to Rohan and Kamli.<\/p>\n
Kamli looked at him thankfully. At first, she refused to take the biscuits, but when he insisted, she took them. Both the kids were watching their parents.<\/p>\n
As soon as Kamli accepted the packets, Rohan tore one open and started tasting the biscuits.<\/p>\n
The girl smiled at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is that man, Ma?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a kind man. When you grow up, you shall be like him,\u201d said Kamli.<\/p>\n
Rohan turned towards the window and began enjoying the scenes outside.<\/p>\n

Kamli and her 3-year-old son, Rohan, lived in a poor village in India. They often had to go hungry, because Kamli didn\u2019t earn much from her daily labouring at a brick kiln. She didn\u2019t want Rohan to have such miserable life. She wanted him to have a good childhood and a bright future.
