This is one of the kids in my neighbourhood. He is going to a shop to buy kerosene and on his way he is playing. He is holding in one hand, a Jerry Can and in the other hand, a stick and a wheel. This is a famous game among boys of his age. It is like owning a vehicle; the toy is made with stick, wire and metal ring found easily. Sometimes, groups of young boys come together on the street and race with their wheel, it is a lot of fun to drive the wheel for a longer time and win the game. But it could be dangerous to play on a busy street where cars are rushing by. In Ethiopia, it is common to send children to shops to buy small items. Mothers often do that when they are busy at home. Children help a lot doing errands especially when school is closed. This is the season where school is closed and children have ample time to assist their mother so you see many of them in the shop buying sugar, coffee, charcoal, kerosene, soap and vegetables.
