Then he seemed to pose for me.

I wanted to get a print and offer to him in two days but since he was leaving, he agreed to drop his desire. It's sad that they have to do this at such a young age, but poverty in certain areas leads them to such businesses and I guess that there will be organized units operating this. The bamboo flutes are made by poor people and sold for their livelihood and that has a chain. It's a "blow and throw" toy, no one minds their low quality, but then they are cheap mostly to meet children's desires! The situation behind it is sad, but very true.
