Six year girl

I read this article last night. I felt very sad in my heart. In developing countries many families rush about life. Their children bear the pressure.

Carmen has four brothers and sisters. They finish their class and go to meet their mother at a huge intersection of the city. They stay until their mother finishes work at 8 pm. They take turns to sleep, do homework and help their mother sell something. I think Carmen, the girl who sat and slept so sweetly on the stone, is very tired because she is only six years old. They live a hard life, but they are strong. I can't imagine, how I could grow up with the dangers, pollution and fatigue that she and her siblings go through.

I wish they grow up happily and have a better life than their mother in the future.
