/ world today news/ His mother counts the pennies, and Mitko, with his guiltily blond head bowed, waits.
He waits to find out if his mother will cry again.
This time there were a lot of pennies, there was even a white, so they should be enough for bread.
If not for a whole loaf, at least for half a loaf.
Mitko could not count and calculate pennies.
He didn’t do well at school – the kids were mean, arrogant and insulted him by saying bad things about his mother. He didn’t hold back and always took paint – his opponents were strong, guarded and sneaky…
If he had lasted at least a few more months, he would have learned to count and at least know money, so his mother said. And she kept trying to start teaching him to count, but she was sick, she kept failing. But she was going to teach him, she had vowed to at least teach him to count pennies.
Money because, it turned out, it was the most important thing in the world.
His mother never agreed that it was so, but he knew – money is what gives people power.
Here, if he had money – he would have paid the doctor and he would have started coming and treating his mother again.
He was going to buy new wallpapers and paste them himself, how much was it, he had seen, but that needed money again.
And finally go and say that money was not the most important thing in the world, mother-mother!
I love you so much, but you’re stupid!
His mother was counting the pennies, her tears dripping down her thin fingers trembling with weakness and excitement.
He counted the pennies and couldn’t believe his eyes!
Apparently she had made a mistake, but on the next count it was two thirty again.
A lot!
For the first time since the child went begging, he came back with so much money.
– There is bread! – she said smiling, but also scared.
The boy sighed loudly, with relief and even elation.
He counted pennies, only small ones, exactly for a loaf of bread and poured them into his little hand.
The boy clutched the pennies and ran out.
And tonight they will eat!
Great joy, is there any greater?
