I met Pedro at a small restaurant in Cuetzalan, Mexico. It was morning and we got into this small restaurant to have breakfast. We were having a look at the menu when he came to our table and asked us if we are interested in visiting his town which is near to Cuetzalan and is a nice place to see. That way he would earn some money too. Since we had only a couple of hours to be at the place, we told him its not possible for us to go. Then he asked us if we can give him some money for breakfast. Instead of giving money, we invited him to have breakfast with us, for which he agreed with a sparkling smile on his face.

We sat with him for almost an hour, engaging ouraelves deep into some sweet child-talk. He asked a lot of qustions to me; about myself, about India, about my family and many other things. He was not at all uncomfortable in talking to us & had a sweet smile on his face all the time.

That was really a memorable breakfast with a sweet little soul.
