In the busy city of Nairobi, far away from a caring life athome, lived a group of homeless boys. They welcomed eachday just as it came. On one morning, the boys were packingtheir mats after sleeping on cold pavements. To chase awaythe cold they lit a fire with rubbish. Among the group of boyswas Magozwe. He was the youngest.

Street life was difficult and most of the boys struggled dailyjust to get food. Sometimes they were arrested, sometimesthey were beaten. When they were sick, there was no one tohelp. The group depended on the little money they got frombegging, and from selling plastics and other recycling. Lifewas even more difficult because of fights with rival groupswho wanted control of parts of the city.

It was cold and Magozwe was standing on the road begging.A man walked up to him. “Hello, I’m Thomas. I work nearhere, at a place where you can get something to eat,” saidthe man. He pointed to a yellow house with a blue roof. “Ihope you will go there to get some food?” he asked.Magozwe looked at the man, and then at the house.“Maybe,” he said, and walked away.

Over the months that followed, the homeless boys got usedto seeing Thomas around. He liked to talk to people,especially people living on the streets. Thomas listened tothe stories of people’s lives. He was serious and patient,never rude or disrespectful. Some of the boys started goingto the yellow and blue house to get food at midday.

Magozwe was sitting on the pavement looking at his picturebook when Thomas sat down next to him. “What is the storyabout?” asked Thomas. “It’s about a boy who becomes apilot,” replied Magozwe. “What’s the boy’s name?” askedThomas. “I don’t know, I can’t read,” said Magozwe quietly.

When they met, Magozwe began to tell his own story toThomas. It was the story of his uncle and why he ran away.Thomas didn’t talk a lot, and he didn’t tell Magozwe what todo, but he always listened carefully. Sometimes they wouldtalk while they ate at the house with the blue roof.

Around Magozwe’s tenth birthday, Thomas gave him a newstorybook. It was a story about a village boy who grew up tobe a famous soccer player. Thomas read that story toMagozwe many times, until one day he said, “I think it’s timeyou went to school and learned to read. What do you think?”Thomas explained that he knew of a place where childrencould stay, and go to school.

Magozwe thought about this new place, and about going toschool. What if his uncle was right and he was too stupid tolearn anything? What if they beat him at this new place? Hewas afraid. “Maybe it is better to stay living on the street,” hethought.
