Sitting by the train tracks, the young boy was contemplating the vista. Engrossed in his thoughts, he remained oblivious to the approaching convoy until it halted in front of him.
So that was that beginning of a life of discovery and freedom or so he had been told. Despite the horizon framed by the wagons, he was finding it difficult to see the big picture.
What are you doing? asked his big brother’s disembodied voice coming from behind him.
-“It doesn’t look that far to be a hobo adventure!”
-“But … little guy, you’re supposed to run along the railroad.”
… Oooooh?!
