Children’s Stories

Ono and Rene |
 |
Right away all the children get to work. Ono takes a shovel and starts to clean out the canals. It’s hard work but Ono is strong. When the parents see their children, they pick up their tools too and finish the jobs the children aren’t strong enough to do.
A boy walks up. It’s Patient and he wants to help. But the other children yell,
“Go away, you maibobo!*”
Right away Ono gathers all the children around him.
*maibobo: a name used for children who live in the street.
