Are having a bottle of beer each
Sitting on the pavement on the roadside
I spot two children collecting empty bottles.
They come to us and plead
To give them ours
We say okay, just wait
Till we finish.
One of the children, a girl
Says that the other child had
Already collected many
And asks us to give her both.
We give her the bottles
But the other one, a boy, tries to snatch
And in the process breaks them
And she sits down to cry.
Tells us that the old man
Who gives her shelter
Will thrash her for not bringing any bottles
We feel pity and drink one more.
