A girl smiles as she holds her little brother. Siblings automatically, by culture and of necessity, assume the duties of a surrogate mother very early in life. They assume those duties quite seriously, and the little ones respect the relationship. Mothers are almost always working, and rearing the children becomes a responsibility of the older ones.


Note the sidewalk she is sitting on. 99% of the people here walk, yet the sidewalks are in shambles. In the US, our sidewalks are usually in great shape and largely unused.


God bless you,
Ralph
