On an open street, as people wept and cried watching the news on TV, an orphan, not grasping the full weight of the moment, looked clueless.
"Old man, what did the handsome brother say on TV? Why can't I understand?"
As a child, he had no concept of freedom or its implications.
In his mind, the only thing that matters is whether he can fill his stomach today and tomorrow.
Seeing everyone crying their eyes out, he thought something terrible had happened.
"Silly child, the leader said we are finally free!"
"Free? What's free? Free food?" the kid asked, eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Hahaha, more than that! We can return to our old times! With abundant food and clothing, a home over our heads, education for our children, and everything!"
"Really? We can have as much food as we want?"
"Yes, all the food you can imagine!"
