孩子与马/The Boy and His Horse
印度比哈尔邦菩提迦耶镇的男孩马赫西说自己今年15岁，但他的家人却说他养活着一家6口人。马赫西有3个妹妹，父亲在他人的农田工作，收入微薄。为了维持生计，马赫西被迫辍学，将家里唯一的一匹小马挂上缰绳，从事起了马车夫的工作。如今，马赫西驾着马车带着乘客穿梭在菩提迦耶镇的街头巷尾，收取车费。菩提迦耶镇是印度著名的佛教圣地，吸引着来自世界各地的游客和朝圣者，这使得马赫西每天平均可以挣到150到200卢比（约合人民币16元至21元）。
Mahesh, a boy from a village near Bodh Gaya of Bihar in India，said he is only 15 years old, but his family members said he is the main bread-winner for the family. Mahesh has 3 younger sisters and their father works in other people's farms. The shortage of earnings and poverty in the family forced Mahesh to leave school few years ago and he started to work as a driver of a horse cart in Bodh Gaya, carrying passengers to where they want to. Being a sacred place for Buddhism, Bodh Gaya attracts many visitors every year, which averagely made Mahesh earn 150 to 200 rupees （about 2.5 to 3 US dollars） per day.
