Alms spent on cigarettes

THE EAR - The Freeman

BABY. A week or two after delivering her fourth child, a woman couldn't believe her husband was arrested and remains detained for allegedly stealing an animal.

 

WORK. She leaves her baby to her 5-year-old daughter while she makes a living selling foodstuffs.

 

CIGARETTES. Sometimes she asks her daughter to beg from neighbors.  Once, an almsgiver who had given the girl some money saw her afterwards buying a can of sardines and some cigarettes apparently for her mother.
