"Dia hanya lapar, Papa. Dia akan mati. Lagi pula dia akan mati. Dia sangat ketakutan, Papa. Pria itu berjongkok dan menatapnya. Saya takut, katanya. Apakah kamu mengerti? Saya takut. Bocah itu tidak menjawab. Dia hanya duduk di sana dengan kepala tertunduk, terisak. Anda bukan orang yang harus khawatir tentang segalanya. Bocah itu mengatakan sesuatu tetapi dia tidak bisa memahaminya. Apa? Dia berkata. Dia mendongak, wajahnya yang basah dan kotor. Ya saya, katanya. Akulah satu-satunya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He was just hungry, Papa. He's going to die. He's going to die anyway. He's so scared, Papa. The man squatted and looked at him. I'm scared, he said. Do you understand? I'm scared. The boy didn't answer. He just sat there with his head down, sobbing. You're not the one who has to worry about everything. The boy said something but he couldn't understand him. What? He said. He looked up, his wet and grimy face. Yes I am, he said. I am the one.
