Today, after our school, we went to the market to buy something. We met a small girl in the streets selling flowers who asked us to buy some. We didn't want to buy initially but then she said, "Please buy these. These are special flowers for Valentine's Day. Your love life will be awesome if you buy these.. Please, please, please" She had a bright smile on her face.

She sounded so cute that we were bound to buy the flowers.. I don't know what the others will do with the flowers but I kept them in a glass vase.. Picture is from goolge images

They are doing this for their living. Mostly they are seen in traffic signals. I am glad to know that you are kind enough to buy the flowers

Too many children in our world are forced to work too soon, without school, I believe that First Reform Bill in England [about 1842] made a law that children under 12 should not have to work more than 10 house a day, or more than six days a week. On the other day, some had Sunday School, the only formal education they had.

@JWMILLER Yes, it is.. Now most children go to school and only few are left, as with free education, lunch is also served at school for these children.. Some choose this life, they are still ignorant.. they want quick money

@sofssu Actually sometimes it is even the kids, My maid servant had a hard time to convince her son not to leave school and start working.. the kids feel it is easy money and they can enjoy with the money..

If you want the flower to stay fresh longer, add half aspirin to the water.
