She was about seven years old

Two years ago, I was a dishwasher in a summer camp. Campers are from the city center of the same black girl, I was the only boy of the whole camp. Mother is a summer chef and we live in a small room on the edge of the camp.
Although my main task is to wash the dishes, but I also help to do some other chores. Such as the night by those girls wet mattress to get on the tennis court.

It was very calm before Amy arrived. She was about seven years old and her hair was tied with a band of colored beads. But her most striking place is that she does not talk to anyone.
My mother told me that Amy was five years old when in a small storage room was closed for several months. Her mother wants to go out to work, can not take care of her, but also worried that she fell from the upstairs or was hit by a car in the street, so had to put her off there. A neighbor discovered Amy's situation and reported the situation to the police station. So the police took Amy away from her mother and sent it to an orphanage. Since then, Amy has never opened again.

After listening to her story, I can not sleep at night I am thinking of the terrible suffering of the poor and the suffering of Amy. During the day, I started to pay special attention to her. Yes: she does not talk to anyone. She is wet every night, so every morning I have to get her mattress on the tennis court. Sometimes she will follow me to the tennis court. "Amy, what is your secret?" I asked her. She did not say anything, just smiled at me, her laughing heartbreaking. Later, I slowly noticed something else about Amy. After lunch every day, the children will receive a letter from their father or mother, but not Amy. But all the time before and after Amy was watching the name of the children who called the letter distribution of people, as if she is very much looking forward to his name was called to.
Night, I often sit on a bench in the lake, quietly looking at the lake. One night, when I approached the bench, I found Amy sitting there, swaying back and forth.
"Hey, Amy, you should stay in bed." Then, I sat down next to her.
She did not answer me, just raised his head and smiled.
"Amy, what is your secret?" I asked her while watching the lake. click over here now | Visit Website | additional info | visit the website | try this out | navigate to these guys | click here to find out more | Your Domain Name | why not try here
