I dont know, but whatever it is its incredibly cute! She spoke to her mother and, in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it costThree pounds was the answer-about five dollarsThe mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have leftThen she simply shook her head The child didnt react badly as some mightBeing told “no” was obviously not a new experience for herBut she couldnt keep the disappointment from her faceI had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket, two two-pound coinsA moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said, Buy her a dolly too I didnt hang about to see the end resultAfter all, its not about being thankedI made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine The money was an investment in the happiness of the worldWas there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram?
