Mr. Journalist: But according to law you can't work. You are a minor.

Child: But I want to help my mother. She is worried that my father might be sent to jail.

Mr. Journalist: Why?

Child: He was saying to my mother that he might not be able to pay the loan he had taken to run his shop.

Mr. Journalist: (Thinking) He also can't pay his income tax, VAT, house tax and other bills. How an honest citizen is compelled to break more and more laws. (To the child) Don't worry. Good time will come.
