As the taunts would not stop, Khalil became very sad. He lived in a poor area, working hard at the store to make his living. The streets were full of homeless children, fighting over scraps of food, money and shelter. Whenever Khalil saw these kids, he would try to run away despite his painful limp
One day, the mean homeless boys grouped around him in the neighbourhood and started pulling his hair. One of them grabbed hold of his injured leg and hit it with a stone, laughing at him 'Limpy! Limpy!' They all taunted him
Suddenly, a man passing by shouted at them threateningly. They all ran away in different directions. Khalil raised his head out of the dirt. His eyes were full of tears and he was in pain. He saw Karim, the confectioner, who owned the grocery store where he worked. He felt relieved and wiped away his tears. Dusting himself down, he said, 'Every day they chase me, beat me and eat my food
He reached for his bag and started picking up the scattered bread, which was now covered in dust. Frowning, Karim said, 'Leave them. I will give you food.' Khalil raised his eyes, happy to hear that but wondering how to pay for it. Karim understood his worries and said, 'Stand up! Don't think about paying. I will give you food for free. I'll teach you and help you to overcome your injury
