    compassion for me. I was hauled out and thrust into a trolley & rushed off to a factory. I winked and blinked in the sun. I thought I would get blinded by its dazzling brightness but little by little I was getting accustomed to the light. I was then packed into a bag and brought to a house where I was put into a fire. I was burned & scorched so much that there is nothing left of me now but a little heap of ashes. I am lingering on from day to day not knowing when I shall leave this wonderful earth.
