Rajeen lives in India, near the bustling streets of the Taj Mahal. The boy's deformity, a badly twisted leg, creates pity and allows him to make a living begging from the tourists. It is not a good life, but the only one Rajeen knows. Rajeen's father insists that his deformity is an advantage because he can earn a living without working, but Rajeen continues to long for a better life. His unlikely friendship with a wealthy American artist, Margaret Dawson, leads him to an open door and face-to-face with an unforseen possibility...one capable of changing his future forever. A short story from our Nibs literary line.
