Three Perspectives

Posted on by Reena Saxena

HOBO

Hobo enjoys his celebrity status. Crowds are often warned before he enters a public place, and spaces magically clear up for him. Walking is meant for lesser beings. Hobo’s mother always carries him. He is the most loved creature in the world, as he sees ample love reflected in her eyes. She calls him the ‘most beautiful and special child in the world’. He figures in the National Book of Records.

Oh, my God! What an ugly creature! One leg is shorter than another, and his mother has to carry him all the time. His ugliness causes distress to the viewer. Hats off to the mother’s devotion! Where would he be without her?

HOBO’S MOTHER

This child is all mine, and has taught me how to love. The situations that life places us in are accidental, and we enjoy both the rewards and punishment. I will make sure that my son gets the best in life. Where would I be without him?
