"TRING... TRING..."
It was the sound of guitar playing on the background as a fine young man strummed his last chord. The children around him cheered right after the conclusion of his performance.
The sun was currently at the highest point of the clear noon sky and it was glaring down on the group of people seated on the ground but its scorching heat did little to stop Anton on coming over and visiting the children
He was a volunteer social worker who was teaching music on the group of underprivileged kids.
"Brother Anton, how does it feel to go to school?"
Asked an innocent voice to which Anton replied with a simple answer.
"It's good.."
"I also want to go to school someday. I will study very hard to get good grades and then I will become rich."
Declared the other and the rest of the children applauded him.
"Well, what I could tell you, Allan, is that we should never go to the school just because we only wanted to get rich. Just follow your heart and let it take you where it truly belongs. Achieve your happiness or passion and the money will surely chase after you. That is how it works."
Anton shared his personal view on the matter but before the other kids could even speak any further, someone came rushing bearing bad news.
"Help! You guys should come and see this. Brother Anton, come over as well."
One of the older children said in between his panting breath. Grim was clearly written all over his face and this made Anton wonder what made the child terrified like that.
"Over here!"
Another of his companion beckoned as it pointed in one direction.
Likewise, more and more kids started to crowd just before a huge lump of garbage where the child was pointing at.
These same children used to collect garbage from a nearby dump site for a living. But today, they found an interesting yet disturbing discovery on their working site.
Thus, they all decided to reach out and asked helped from a man whom they trusted the most. No other than, their Brother Anton.
Anton ran after the kids but just after a few minutes of running, he was already panting heavily and was trying hard to catch his labored breath.
Yet at the same time, he also did not wish to inhale any of the stale air around him. Because the stench from the surrounding wastes was overwhelming.
Being around a sea of garbage was not an ideal situation, to begin with. But what could one expect from it??? It was not like one could hope to smell lotus flowers or roses from a garbage disposal site, right?
Moreover, the combination of rain last night and the scorching hot the next day only made it all worst. It had rained last night and now that the sun was up, the dumpsite had steamed.
The heat from the sun's glare hastened the evaporation process of the excrements and other rotten wastes available in the place which in result, released the foul stench of decay and other unpleasant things.
On top of that, it was like the whole dumpsite was put under a steam function and their awful vapor combined obviously made a perfect mix on the dominant note of decaying odor that had been originally present on the place, to begin with.
The young man loosened the high collar of his shirt as he neared the location.
'Phew!'
He exhaled a large mouthful of turbid air before he turned to the same child who came running to them just a while ago.
"Just what exactly was this thing that you badly wanted us to see, Kimmy?"
He asked.
