in the breeze looked good enough'
to eat; the yellow flowers could
be American bread and maybe
some cheese, just like he'd seen a
soldier eating once. It' had been
a long time ago he thought,
though he remembered tlie sol-
dier had given him some when he
noticed him watching him. He'd
never tasted anything like it
since the war. The' war .had
meant very little to him except
the sound of trucks' roaring by
outside the cellar where he and
his mother had lived, and the
sound of the 'planes overhead..
Mother! that was not a word
that came easily to his small,
cracked, thin lips. She'd been a
tall woman with rough hands
who'd made him remain in the
cellar while she went out to
bring something to eat. Then
one day the .planes had cone
over again, the strange whist-
ling sound, loud noises that
shook dust from the ceiling into
his eyes ., ... his mother hadn't
come home.
ale had sneaked about hun-
gry inany tines until he'd
learned to steal his food and run
with it back to the only home
he'd known. At first he'd saved
a little for his mother but she'd
never cone back so he'd eaten
it himself. He was very Ionely.
Later on a gang of larger boys
had adopted him because he was
so small lie'd been able to slip
into tighter windows than they
had. He remembered he'd had
lots to eat then. However the
war had ended and the gang
having disappeared the lad had
been left to his own half -savage
resourses in order to live, He'd
.often gone back to the cellar,
but each time he'd done so with
less and less hope. Bigger people
had shoved him back from the
large brown truck with the red
cross. He'd run away from that
place where they'd gone out to
clear bricks, and stone from the
streets in return for a bowl of
soup and a piece of hard bread.
He sighed and started to count
again. His head felt so- funny,
kind of light and diziy; he knew
his aching knees and feet would
not hold him up again. The tree
wept softly over him as the
breeze caused the leaves to
quiver convulsively . .. It
seemed colder. The boy turned
on his side and swept the hair
Lhat had never known a barber's
scissors from his face; he
smiled. He closed his eyes. The
field turned into a great, waving
something good to eat covered
with white American bread. An-
other cloud must have passed
over the sun thought the boy
drowsily; it is becoming so dark.
The tree was outlined in a
great beam of sunlight. as the
clouds willingly parted, The grass
stood arrested in its waving and
listened for a while.
