The Little Street Urchin

 

I often wondered what had become of that little street urchin

we encountered so many years ago, along the side road behind

 the market square.  So many children chasing the tour bus,

their outstretched arms, their vacant expressions and

bare feet.  That image has never left me.

But here, now - I can see her sitting in that back booth.

How, over these many years, had she found her way to 

Denny's?
