[Joanne saw a beggar without legs, begging at pasar malam. She asked for a story.]
There is a little girl who is about five years old, staying together with her daddy. The daddy is a construction worker. Everyday, after sending the girl to school, daddy goes to work to earn money. It is not easy to earn money, sometimes daddy has to work for long long time just to earn enough money to buy food. But daddy loves the girl very much and will buy anything that she wants.
One day, the girl comes back from school, asking daddy to buy a set of colour pencils for her.
"But you already have the colour pencils," says daddy.
"Mine is only 12 colours. All of my friends have 24 or 36 colours ones. I want 24 colours one," says the girl.
"But...."
"I want I want I want," cries the girl.
"O...Ok, you wait at home." Daddy changes his clothes and goes to work again. He needs to take OT, as he does not have enough money to buy colour pencils. He is tired, but no choice. He loves his girl.
When he climbs up the roof to work, due to the tiredness he slips and falls down from the roof. When he wakes up in the hopital, both of his legs have been amputated.
He has lost te ability to work in construction. Now, he can only beg at pasar malam, hoping one day he has enough money to buy a set of 24 colour pencils for his daughter...
