CHILDREN

Amir Hashimov is an adult and responsible person of nine years old. He already knows how hard it is to get money, but he is not afraid of work. He helps his mother with cleaning the streets, for this the boy has to get up early and work before classes start. This hard worker is known to all passers-by who live with them in Derbent next door.

Naida’s mother has many children, besides the elder Amir, she has three more kids. A single mother has to work very hard. She manages to get to four places at once. Cleaning the streets also does not disdain, because the family needs to be fed, and the rent for a rented apartment will not pay for itself.

Khizri Abakarov has been sitting in the mayor’s chair not so long ago. When he heard about this needy family, the boy delighted him. Such a responsive and hardworking child does not grow up in every family nowadays, so the mayor decided to support the little man.

At a meeting with Amir and his mother, he suggested that the boy take up work in the city hall. The boy should report where there are problems in his area that require urgent solutions.

And the mayor also allocated the family a four-room apartment in a new house. The move is very soon, each of the children will have their own room.

Amir is looking forward to a new table for classes and a sports corner — his room will be so masculine. He studies perfectly, understands that in the future it will be useful.
