The Child
The severely malnourished child was on the verge of death. I quickly set up an IV to give him much needed nutrition and other supplements.
Hours later when he was stable I turned in anger upon the illiterate parents. " Why are you starving this child? He needs proper food! "
Tears dropped down the broken, skeletal man who stood before me with folded hands. "Look around you, Doctor Sahib, the land is dead. We have no food."
When the Doctor heard that his anger turned into determination to help them better themselves. He then worked hard by working the fields and teaching the father to hunt and to be able to provide for his family. As time went on the Child slowly improved and he started to get stronger a little at a time. The parents of the child said that his name was Jacob. When the child was able to go home. The family was able to provide everything the child needed and a lot more love.
