Jack stirred restlessly on his seat in the big room, which was crowded with several passengers and their luggage. He remembered how his 10-year-old daughter had clung to him, crying, because she was now old enough to understand that her dad was leaving their small village to go and find a job that would help him provide for his family. There had been no rain in the village for the last three years, and most people were leaving for nearby towns and cities to find whatever job they could to sustain themselves and their family. He came back to the present with a start when someone jostled him. He looked around and noticed how tired and haggard most of the people looked. Most of them were leaving without their families. He calculated that he would reach his destination the next day, and perhaps, after a few months of hard work, he could save enough money and ask his wife and daughter to move in with him. That brought a smile to his face.
