TWO DOLLARS Because of poor family, Lula, a four years old boy, has to sell peanut on street to earn money, but still ragged clothes and lack of eating. When he enters primary school, he usually polishes shoes at the end of street with his two peers after school. Days without client, they consider go hungry. At 12 years old, in the late afternoon, there is a client deign to come, three children run to for soliciting. The guest, looks into three pairs of eyes entreating persistently, doesn’t know which child he should choose. At last, he says: Who needs money the most, I will let you polish my shoe and pay two dollars. Polishing a pair of shoes costs just 20 coins, two dollars is really a big money. Three pairs of eyes are all lit up. One child says: “I haven’t been eaten anything from morning till now, if I don’t earn money today, I will starve”. Another says: “my home has run out of food for three days, my mother is sick, I have to buy food for the whole family tonight, if not I will be beaten…”. Lula looks at two dollars in the guest’s hand, thinks a moment, and says: “If I am earned these two dollars by you, I will share for my two friends, each one a dollar!!” Lula’s saying makes the guest and two other children very surprised. He explains: “They are my best friends. They have been gone hungry for the whole day. I ate a little peanut this noon, have more energy to polish shoes than them. Let me polish your shoes, you will be certainly pleased. Being moved by the child’s saying, the guest pays him two dollar after being polished pair of shoes. And Lula keeps his words, immediately give money to two friends, each one a dollar. Lula’s full name is Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil (2002 -2010). Tram
