Charlie is a shoeshine boy and he shines shoes sitting on a small box in front of Cafe Colombo. There are always many people sitting at the tables in Cafe Colombo and all of them are well-dressed and look rich. Charlie doesn't go to school and works everyday shining every shoes both men's and ladies' shoes. A man in the Cafe Colombo called him and he shined his black and dirty shoes then he got ten cents. An old man with a board of notice walks slowy and he is selling lottery tickets. A well-dressed man got a ticket and gets in the taxi but he is in a hurry so the ticket falls out of his ticket. The ticket came to Charlie and he has it on his hand. He shouts for the taxi but taxi moves away so the ticket is still in his hand. Charlie goes back to gis home and he shows the ticket to his mother. The lottery day is tomorrow. Perhaps they will be a very rich. On that night, he had a dream that a goat eats the ticket. Next morning, there is no ticket in the box, but his mother has. Their day will be happy or not? I don't know but I hope their Lucky Number is 6!!
It is said that my lucky numbers are 2, 5, 8. I don't know why these numbers are my lucky number but it's just a example. There are many poor people and some of them are working for their family so they can't go to school. Thinking that, I am very happy person even though it's very hard to study and do homework. There are many children who want to study but can not. We should study hard for them and of course for ourselvs.
