  • Baby on back
    My sister and I got to go to the highlands to play. The terrain is hilly and mountainous, so people usually walk to get where they need to go. We met a girl about seven years old who carried a baby on her back to school because her parents were busy at work. That girl listened to birds singing and looked at flowers blooming as she walked to school. "I'm used to it," she said, "so I don't get tired at all." Hearing that reminded me that the world is a beautiful place.
