Analysis of Two orphan boys.
The two orphan boys.
They used to do odd jobs.
They were two brothers,
both of them were early teenagers.
I was stuck to see,
they were earning,
since morning to evening.
While I was polishing my boots,
from the younger.
I asked him whereabouts of elder.
He looked at me,
then down again without answer.
as I was unfamiliar.
But I came to know,
they were ready to do errands,
in exchange of little payments.
Nextday I called them again,
in pretention to collect air ticket,
as if I wanted to visit.
Nextday they came to me.
Asked them to wait for a whiles.
They answered,they had to go few miles.
I assured them,
I would help them by car.
They looked at me as if I acted queer.
I was inquisitive about their lives.
So without delay I took out my car
and went with them far.
Then they asked me,
to stop at a place,
and I found their pale face.
They went in a big building,
which was an asylum house.
It was pin drop silence.
Then I went in,
Saw them standing,bedside of an woman,
who was wrinkled,with grey hair
but very fair.
Later I came to know,
they were orphan.
They had no relation,
except their granny,the old woman.
They worked day and night,
only to keep her well.
These two young teaching this world.
Only sacrifies for other,
can bring harmony for ever.
