'Hey, pssst, over here!' Half hidden behind a market stall, a few meters away from Ron, a girl his age clothed in rags was waving at him.'Come here!' she hissed

At first Ron pretended he didn't hear the girl at all. His grandfather had explicitly told him to stay away from the strange children. "Those little pests spread their diseases all over the place! Make sure to wash yerself when you meet one, or you'll be dealing with the polio in a whim of an eye!" The 'wise' words still resonated in his mind. But when the girl tried to catch his attention again he couldn't help but look up. He hesitated. Should he really comply and come over to the girl? Well... She didn't really look like a stranger. She was more like... A commoner! Grandpa hadn't said anything about commoners! So he'd be fine in that regard, as long as he washed himself tonight, just to be sure.

On hands and feet he crawled over to the girl, passing through the jungle feet and legs of the attending villagers. Finally reaching the stand he leant to it's side, breathing heavily. "Hi there..." He wheezed in between his breaths. "I'm Ron, who are you... And why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Ron asked, with the innocence and insensitivity of a true child, he himself wearing decent clothing bought with the well earned money of his working father.
