and looked a dull dirty pink, She
had on black socks that reached
up to her knees, Her face had
wrinkles on it and her eyes were
blond shot as if she had been
staring continuously at some-
thing, She carried a bundle of
dried beads that were tied in a
dirty old handkerchief,

The girl was looking at a spar
row with a smile of contentment,
She was wearing a torn blue
blouse that was way too big for
her. Her faded red skirt was
held up by a piece of rope, In
her right hand she clutched atat-

been thinking about their future
and where they would go ancethe

they might have been thinking
about how much longer werethey

Then the hissing of a bus intex-

people ¢limbed into the bus, paid
their fare and went to the back of
the bus. The bus slowly pulled
away and I watched it until itwas
