The boy and girl were siblings, their parents were not locals and came here just to make a living.
An accidental tragedy claimed their parents' lives, leaving the siblings as orphans.
With no choice or refusal available, the boy and girl could only depend on each other, barely clinging to life.
Not far from this road, the only home the two little ones had was a dilapidated house.
Knowing their difficult situation, out of compassion, many shopkeepers were willing to give the siblings a bit of food to fill their bellies.

They couldn't always get something to eat. Whenever he saw his sister crying because her belly was empty, the brother would try every possible method to get food. When he couldn't beg for food, he chose to steal surreptitiously, reluctant as he was.
The situation was now clear.
