However,his father's new wife also said she would not accept "agola"in her house when be arrived there.
Sadly his father concurred with his bride's directive and sent him away.since then,Sayyid had no option but to wander around the city in search of food and shelter.
"I join beggars to get what to eat,
and I sleep anywhere I find myself
It is always difficult for me to get
What to eat.My dream is to go to
School and become rich so that I
Can buy food to people"He said.
