In the town centre people hurried, buying last minute Christmas gifts.

Nobody noticed the young boy, sat on a bench on his own.

He wore a thick winter coat, hat, scarf, gloves and Wellington boots.

"Mummy." He cried quietly, looking around in the hope that his Mother would come back soon.

He had been sat there for an hour, cold and extremely hungry.
