Nguyen checked at the boy, who stood at his right father.
“Yes...” Nguyen looked at an infant and said: “Sir...”
“Yes... What did you try to say?”
Nguyen pointed at an infant.
“Why he was crying?”
A gentleman started at Nguyen with his tearful eyes.
“He is hungry and cold. We had no food today because it is
raining...!”
Nguyen started at gentleman's face.
“Where is his mother?” Nguyen asked.
A gentleman bent down his head looked at his infant, and
his tears dropped on his infant's face.
“My wife died on the war zone, and I could not bury her
until now I do not know what happens for her body.” In the
sobbing he said.
Nguyen pointed at an infant.
“Can he eat?”
A gentleman shakes his head.
“No...! He needs milk. But I could not find milk for him
today...! He might get sick and die...” In a painful voice, he
said.
Nguyen thought of his grandma and looked at a boy as his
age.
