Poor, but Not Poor at Heart

Although confining and torturing a wild animal is prohibited by laws, a section of poor people still finds it a way to earn their livelihood by becoming monkey charmers. Here, a 'proud' street boy, one of the audiences at a show near Mirpur Gol Chakkar yesterday, was so amused by the feat that he gave Tk 8 to the monkey while others were giving only Tk 2.
