Name - Edward

Age - 8

Status - Orphan and do stealing for livings

... live on the road

Edward - Fuhh ...that was close (looking at his hands which is holding 2 pieces of bread 🍞 and half dozen of bananas 🍌)

Edward - ( climb on the roof of a 3 storeys building and starts eating his food which he stoled from the shop)

Edward - (after Eating) It's not easy now a days to steal a food ....Those Ùgly Ba$tards 🤬(Looking at his hand which is having a nail starches Which he got when one of them almost Grabbed his hand)

Edward - (roaming on the roof after that looking down by leaning on the Railin****g

...Suddenly...

He seen a brunch of people Shouting and dragging a small boy..... his eyes got widen he directly get down from the roof and run towards the crowd***....

...Edward Pov...

After enjoying the food which my mouth tasted after 2 days i was roaming on the roof which is my fav place and enjoying the view too Suddenly my eyes shifted to the bunch of people who were shouting and dragging a small boy...

I climbed off from the roof and run towards the Crowd... and when I reach to the site the seen in front of my eyes is just... Like

Now I understand how It's looks like when we kill humanity....

The boy who is bearly be 6 or seven yrs old tied to the electric pole and surrounded by bunch of People who are Crushing him Shouting On and the most terrible thing is people who are surrounding him Slapping him with full force... some of them pulling his hair harshly that his head has bend to the direction from where his hairs were pulled... Some of them kicking his legs so some of them punching on his face too... the little boy is looking like life less bloød covered his whole face and staining his shirt too which is half ripped apart... legs of the boy have a dark blue and red Marks too....but the people who are just seeing the view were not less too they are just adding the fuel in the fire e by saying....beat this Sh!t ... teach him a good lesson...beat more

So why the people become so brutal to him... What is his crime ??

Crime...he done the crime of stealing money from a Person but got caught and ended up like this...

So is this the way to punish a little boy who tried to steal money... didn't he should handed to the police...so why this people are beating him... Reason... They are saying they beating the boy so he will learn a lesson for not stealing again... but in reality they are just beating him cause they are just venting their anger and frustration which they can't vent on anyone but this is the best opportunity to release their strees... without getting any harm...

I wanted to help him very badly but I know... it is out of my control...

after beating the boy from whole a hour Suddenly one of the people from crowd said don't beat him more he will Die... release him and let him go...

the second the little boy freed from the pole he just felt down like a Life less body... but the crowd didn't cared even some of them spit near him ... left the place...i was just standing there and waiting for the crowd to be lessen but for my suprise the whole crowd were vanished...no one of the group didn't cared about the boy... they just vent their aggression and Left the spot...

Edward - (Goes near to The little boy and move his hand to touch him but stopped in the air as he is afraid by seeing the condition of the little boy)

****Edward**** - (after hesitating for couples of minutes he decided to touch Him

...**Edward pov......

I was little afraid to touch him as his state is very poor... even word is less to describe the state of him...i am afraid if he is alive or not... but when I seen he that he is moving his fingers... than decided to Help him...

I hold his body and make him lay on his back as he fall down on his stomach...i starts to pat his cheek softly...my fingers and palm got wet due to the bløod ... which is falling from his bounds...I remove his hair from his face...i seen how hard it was for him to open his left eye only...as the right eye is still close, swollen, turned darkish Blue and blōod is flowing from the cuts near his eye...

**I realised on things it's impossible for him to walk so I carried him on my back and Run out of the market...

yes all those things were happened in the Market... which is famous between the people who lives in Slums as the things selling here are cheap**...

I came far enough from the market and sat under the shed of bridge near the lake... and made him sit by leaning his back on pillar which is supporting the bridge...

i seen the sky it's turning orange... than to boy's State..

i don't have any thing to wipe his face so i take my shirt off and wet it in the lake water and starts to wipe carefully his bounds...He is just making a Hiss... sound which is also not audible enough...

After wiping a little enough as blōod is still flowing out from some cuts which looks like a deep one...I was about to wipe more Suddenly he struggled to Stand up ...i said

Edward - Hey! ... don't struggle u are not in a good state to stand up on ur feets (About to hold him)

But The little boy stand up on his feets by the support of the pillar and flashed a Smile or i say a very painful smile

He said

The Little boy - Tha... Thank you (said in very difficulty)

Edward - (Shocked but Move his hand to support him)

The Little boy - Ca..Can y... You do m..me a..a fav.. favour (Said in very painful voice and swallowing hid saliva after each word)

Edward - I..I will

The Little boy - Ca...Can y.. you..Ta...ke ..me..t...o...my...ho...use ( can you take me to my house)

Edward - Ohk😥

On the other side the man is Trying to snatch the money and the little boy is not ready to give the money...he is continuously Struggling and saying
