Yesterday i saw An eleven years old boy riding a donkey, lifting a rubbish chariot,he was passing in a boulevard where all different kinds of vehicles run, even the tramway ” it’s a common thing in Morocco that a Mercedes benz go beside a donkey cart”, yesterday was a hot day especially at 16 p.m, both the kid and donkey looked very tired, and the boy was slowing down the traffic, suddenly he stood aside and he called me to help him fix his donkey’s armature, the tarffic was blocked from the left side, the driver in the first vehicle start to shout
:” take your donkey and move aside !! ”
I give the kid my papers bag to hold it, he refused to take it and he said
-” My hands are so dirty i can’t touch your bag.”..so i throw the bag down by earth, i fix the armature, and the boy was hurrying to take his chariot looking for an another garbage can where he can gather more rubbish, he rode his animal rapidly, salute and thanked me from a far.
it’s strange because Yesterday was the International worker’s day, it also called May day..and that boy was like the mayday expression..” Venez m’aider ” was clear on that poor boy’s face.
