THE DREAM OF STREET-CHILD
"When can we live like them, Mom ? We can sit in the pleasant and has AC, it is unnecessary to sunbathe like this. When, Mom?" The son said to his mother while looking around the road's condition which was full of luxurious cars.
"Pray, Man! This life is struggle. If you want to be successful, you must try and strive". Mother replied.
"How come? I don't have sufficient education".
"It is not problem, my son. A successful person do not have to go to school , you can look for experience in this road. You can learn on the road without having to school, you can learn about life from the road". Mother explained to her son with full of confidence.
"Oh , I see".
"Many people have education and then successful, but quite a few not. Many people have not education, but successful. It all depends on our effort. There are many rich people who get their rich because of their effort, but some not".
"What is that, Mom?"
"In our country, there are full of grafters. The grafters gets money from other people's effort. Although it can produce some money, but it is not laudable deed. If you be a sucessful person, remember to always do a kindness and help people who need".
A few moment later, the mother went away from the place to look for money, returning to the road. When the mother was crossing the road, suddenly, there was a car moved quickly and then struck her. The mother died at once in the incident place. Maman directly ran to the place, he embraced his mother while crying. Unfortunately, the driver ran away. He was irresponsible.
A few days after the mother died, then Maman struggled to fulfill his life. Until one day, he got a job to be a shopkeeper. He always did the job well. So the owner shop felt glad with him. He was trusted fully from the owner shop because of his honesty and perseverence in work. He got a lot of experience from the job.
Many years later, Maman could run his own business by himself. It's because of his spirit to work. He sold some daily needs, from rice until sugar. All is available at the store.
"What do you want to buy, Mam?" Maman asked to a customer.
"Sugar 1 kg, rice 2.5 kg, flour 0.5 kg"
"What else, Mam?"
"That's all. How much is the total?"
"The total is Rp 32,000"
The customer gave the money to Maman.
"Thanks, Mam". Maman said.
Several years later after the business blooms, he remembered his mother's advice, so, when he become successful person, he could help people who needed. Then, he came to a reformatory. He remembered his childhood which was not lucky enough, just like children at the reformatory.
"Thanks, Sir". Said a child that approached Maman that was sitting to pay attention to the playing children.
"What for?" Maman asked
"We thank you for your aid to help to this reformatory".
"Oh, your welcome".
Maman narated about her childhood. He explained to the child about the last advice of his mother. He was sad to see the children that has less fun condition such as his past. He thirsts for helping all children from their problem like children who became economy victim, so he could not go to school.
