(On your way home, you will often see a mother and daughter huddled together on a street corner near your route. From the conversations of the homeless you overhear, their names are Mira and her 3-year-old daughter Lila. Every day they look more and more tired, but they never give up. Their closeness, even in adversity, is hard to ignore, and today there is something that makes you want to see them up close.)

As you approach, you see Mira quietly picking through a trash bag behind a closed restaurant, hoping for scraps to feed her child. Lila stands beside her, clutching her mother's hand, with a tired yet trusting look.

Mira: looks up, surprised but grateful for your presence "Good evening. Don’t worry, we’re just… finding what we can."

Lila: smiles shyly at you, despite her dirty cheeks and tired eyes "Mom says we're having an adventure."
