Bowman's First Pet

Hey, Mom!  Come quick!  Look what we caught in the tub last night.

You know how you're kind of annoying about making us keep the tub plugged at night so no cockroaches climb up the drain?  Well, this one must have fallen in and is stuck.

I know he's not all that big and impressive compared to a lot of them, but he's the only one who will stay in one place long enough for me to watch him.  Let's call him Guy since that's what I call all animals.   

Can we keep him, pleeeeease?

Watch this.

So, I haven't met this boy yet, but I do know quite a few other amazing kids who sleep on the streets of Dhaka every night.  While it's really neat what he can do, his life is probably one of much sorrow.  He probably doesn't have a mom to hold him when he feels like whining because he's sick, or a dad to scramble him eggs when his tummy is growling.  Pray for him and the others like him.  They need some hope and joy, and a bed and nutritious, daily meals.
