Twinkle twinkle little star

We have been going to this mall for a long time and my kid likes to drive that toy car found i  the mall. Everytime i went there, something bothered me always and made me ponder over it for a long time. And this was a little boy with a lovely smile on his face and twinkle in hus eyes and confidence  in his body. He is the boy working there as a care taker of small kids driving the toy cars. I have been thinking about him and other children working with him. He takes care of the other children; doesn't he want to have fun. Where are his parents? And much more.
Tonight when we again went to this mall, i found him on duty. ANd something made me so attracted towards him that i went and had a little chat with him. For i was very much worried about his future, i asked "do you study?" The reply was "YES MA'M".   That's it! This is what i wanted to hear, because i don't know yet that had his answer been "no", how would have i helped him. I could only pity on his plight. I could only feel a little more bothered just for tonight till i meet him again. I could be of no much help however, his answer rescued me of the afterpains of "no".
Again i asked him "who askes you to work?" HE said " no one, i work because i want to."
I again out of curosity asked him "why?". And his final response floored me, which was "this way, i can atleast sponser my education." You know which class he is in? Class 4.
I couldn't say anything much after this, but took a picture of him so that i keep getting the inspiration from this little star. For me, he is a STAR.
And his name is JUNAID.

Friends, do let me know if he inspires you too.

Love
Sonam
