The dump where they were born and live is the only world they know. Since sunrise, they work with their parents, scavenging through garbage heaps for food, clothing, and iron to sell. Though forced to become adults at an early age, they have never stopped being children. They have learned to have fun with simple things. The remains of a rescued toy are enough to fill the sad, gray landscape with laughter and cries of joy. But they've also learned that even the best pranks come to an end when your best friend needs help
