/ world today news/ He was among the invisible people in this country – journalists didn’t write about people like him, they didn’t show such people on television.
So it was as if Zarco was gone.
And Zarko had it, he lived with his mother and grandfather, they were miserable together, he didn’t go to school, he walked around the big city all day, trying to earn something.
So Zarco was alive.
Even Zarko had a dream – to eat a whole loaf of bread once and be full, at least once in his life, if only for the first and last time.
One July morning, Zarko had stood in front of the bakery and hungrily breathed in the smell of warm bread. The truck loading the store had stopped in front of him, and the driver had forgotten to close the door of the van. Zarko approached and saw that a whole loaf of bread could be slipped out of one of the cash registers. He looked around – the truck driver was talking animatedly with the saleswoman and Zarko made up his mind – he slid his hand and pulled out a loaf of bread. But what bread – warm, wonderful! He ate it quickly and only then realized that he had committed theft.
And the truck driver was coming, carelessly slammed the open door of the van, and only then did he see the boy.
– How are you, little one?
– Uncle, I stole a loaf of bread from your truck!
– You must have been hungry, huh?
– I was hungry, I’m always hungry.
– Wait for her, my friend, – said the driver and opened the door of the cabin, took out a loaf of bread and handed it to the boy. Zarko hugged the bread.
– Come now, bye, I have work waiting for me. And listen, my boy, I’m here every day at this time. Come, I will give you bread.
So Zarko got another loaf of bread, which he ran to please his mother and grandfather. At first they didn’t believe him – his mother cried, and his grandfather, the former history teacher, announced:
– We raised a thief!
When he told them everything, they both believed him, and his grandfather, amused, asked:
– Now that your dream of eating bread has come true, you are left without a dream, Zarko?
– No! – answered the boy – Now I have another dream – to make sure that all the children in this country have bread.
