Children – A boy and a girl live together on the street, helping each other. Adults mistreat them and no one helps them. One day, the boy pick-pockets an old lady at the market, but he’s captured and burnt alive as thieves generally are. The girl hugs him and dies with him. In the afterlife, their souls will live as normal and happy children.
