"Can I have some water?" He asks after licking his lips.
"Sure, sweetie," I respond before taking him to the vendor right next to the bread one, and I buy a cup of water.
"C-can you make sure i-it isn't poisoned?"
His words made my heart wrench as such an innocent kid had to make sure there was no poison in his water.
What kind of childhood has he grown up with so far?
"Of course," I respond before smelling the water first and then tasting just a lick of it, but what he didn't know was that this spot has been quite trustworthy as I've been drinking water from it for a while now.
"I-Is there any?"
"Nope!" I say with a warm smile before handing him the cup while also handing the fat vendor a cup of water.
He quickly fills his cheeks with it, but for some reason, it slides out of the side of his mouth.
"T-the water tastes weird," He says.
