Burma / 24 Waiters in the Barat Indian restaurant in Yangon.

One day I purchased something on sale in a Yangon department store. As a bonus I was given about 30 ball point pens. I gave a pen to each of these children. They thought that was very special.

Shortly thereafter I gave a pen to a little beggar girl. A few hours later I ran into the little girl again. She saw me and burst into a river of tears--someone had taken her pen, could I give her another? Fortunately, I could. She seemed greatly relieved.
