Seeing me or rather my  37   ,a boy sprang up(跳起來).  38    to sell his banan is and peanuts.“Banana 300 naira.Peanut 200 naira!”

Looking at his bbinck-striped bananas,I  39    to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.

He  40   .I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn’t have  41   .So I told him not to worry.He was  42   and smiled a row of petfect teeth.

When.two weeks later.I  43   this same boy.I was more aware of my position in Nigerian soeicty.I should  44   this country as the son of a  45   .But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so  46   to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit.
