Kalabalık bir şehir olan Nairobi’de, sıcak bir yuvası olmayanbir grup evsiz çocuk yaşıyormuş. Her gün onlar için yeni vebilinmeyen bir macera gibiymiş. Bir sabah soğukkaldırımlarda uyuduktan sonra yere serdikleri hasırlarıtopluyorlarmış. Soğuğa dayanabilmek için çöplerle ateşyakmışlar. Grubun içinde Magozwe diye bir çocuk da varmış.İçlerinde en genci oymuş.

In the busy city of Nairobi, far away from a caring life athome, lived a group of homeless boys. They welcomed eachday just as it came. On one morning, the boys were packingtheir mats after sleeping on cold pavements. To chase awaythe cold they lit a fire with rubbish. Among the group ofboys was Magozwe. He was the youngest.

Magozwe’nin anne ve babası öldüğünde o daha beş yaşındaimiş. O da amcasıyla yaşamaya başlamış. Amcası çocukla hiçilgilenmemiş. Magozwe’ye hiç yeteri kadar yemekvermemiş. Onu hep ağır işlerde çalıştırmış.

Magozwe soru sorduğunda veya şikayet ettiğinde amcasıonu hep dövmüş. Okula gitmek istediğini söyleyenMagozwe’ye, “Sen aptalın tekisin. Hiç bir şeyöğrenemezsin,” demiş. Üç yıl boyunca böyle bir eziyettensonra Magozwe amcasının evinden kaçmış. Sokaklardayaşamaya başlamış.

If Magozwe complained or questioned, his uncle beat him.When Magozwe asked if he could go to school, his unclebeat him and said, “You’re too stupid to learn anything.”After three years of this treatment Magozwe ran away fromhis uncle. He started living on the street.

Sokak hayatı çok zormuş. Çocukların çoğu yemek bulmaktazorlanıyormuş. Bazen yakalanıp tutuklanıyor, bazen dedayak yiyorlarmış. Hastalandıklarında yardım edecekkimseleri yokmuş. Gruptaki çocuklar dilenerek yadatopladıkları çöpleri satarak biriktirdikleri parayla geçinmekzorundaymış. Şehirde egemenlik kurmak isteyen diğer rakipgruplarla da savaşmaları gerektiğinden hayat daha dazorlaşıyormuş.

Street life was difficult and most of the boys struggled dailyjust to get food. Sometimes they were arrested, sometimesthey were beaten. When they were sick, there was no one tohelp. The group depended on the little money they gotfrom begging, and from selling plastics and other recycling.Life was even more difficult because of fights with rivalgroups who wanted control of parts of the city.

Bir gün Magozwe çöpleri karıştırırken eski bir resimli hikayekitabi bulmuş. Kitabı temizlemiş ve kesesine koymuş. Ogünden sonra hep kitabı çıkarıp resimlerine bakmayabaşlamış. Okuma bilmediğinden yazıları anlamıyormuş.

One day while Magozwe was looking through the dustbins,he found an old tattered storybook. He cleaned the dirtfrom it and put it in his sack. Every day after that he wouldtake out the book and look at the pictures. He did not knowhow to read the words.

Soğuk bir günde Magozwe yol kenarında durupdileniyormuş. Bir adam ona yaklaşıp şöyle demiş, “Merhababenim adım Thomas. Burada yakında, senin yemekyiyebileceğin bir yerde çalışıyorum.” Eliyle mavi renk çatısıolan sarı bir binayı göstermiş adam. “Umarım oraya gidipyemek yersin ha?” diye sormuş. Magozwe adama ve sonraeve bakmış. “Belki,” demiş ve oradan ayrılmış.

It was cold and Magozwe was standing on the roadbegging. A man walked up to him. “Hello, I’m Thomas. Iwork near here, at a place where you can get something toeat,” said the man. He pointed to a yellow house with a blueroof. “I hope you will go there to get some food?” he asked.Magozwe looked at the man, and then at the house.“Maybe,” he said, and walked away.

Ondan sonraki aylarda, evsiz çocuklar Thomas’ı hepgörmeye alışmışlar. Oraya gelip sokakta yaşayan insanlarlakonuşuyormuş. Onların hikayelerini dinliyormuş. Ciddi vesabırlı biriymiş, hiç saygısız ve kaba bir davranışı yokmuş.Bazı çocuklar öğlenleri o sarı ve mavi renkli eve gidip yemekalmaya başlamışlar.

Over the months that followed, the homeless boys got usedto seeing Thomas around. He liked to talk to people,especially people living on the streets. Thomas listened tothe stories of people’s lives. He was serious and patient,never rude or disrespectful. Some of the boys started goingto the yellow and blue house to get food at midday.

Magozwe kaldırıma oturmuş resimli kitabına bakarkenThomas yanına gelmiş ve oturmuş. “Ne kitabı bu?” diyesormuş. “Büyüyüp pilot olan bir çocuğun hikayesi,” diyecevap vermiş Magozwe. “Çocuğun adı ne?” diye sormuşThomas. Magozwe sessizce “Bilmiyorum, ben okumayıöğrenmedim,” demiş.

Magozwe was sitting on the pavement looking at his picturebook when Thomas sat down next to him. “What is thestory about?” asked Thomas. “It’s about a boy whobecomes a pilot,” replied Magozwe. “What’s the boy’sname?” asked Thomas. “I don’t know, I can’t read,” saidMagozwe quietly.

Bir araya geldiklerinde Magozwe Thomas’a kendi hikayesinianlatmış. Amcasının evinden nasıl ve neden kaçtığını.Thomas çok fazla konuşmamış ve Magozwe’ye hiç öğüt devermemiş, ama her seferinde dikkatle dinlemiş. Bazenberaber yürüyüş yapmışlar ve mavi çatılı evde yemekyemişler.

When they met, Magozwe began to tell his own story toThomas. It was the story of his uncle and why he ran away.Thomas didn’t talk a lot, and he didn’t tell Magozwe what todo, but he always listened carefully. Sometimes they wouldtalk while they ate at the house with the blue roof.

Magozwe’nin onuncu yaş gününe yakın bir gün, Thomasona bir yeni hikaye kitabı vermiş. Fakir bir köy çocuğununbüyüyüp ünlü bir futbolcu olmasının hikayesi imiş. Thomashikayeyi bir kaç kez okumuş Magozwe’ye ve bir gün ona,“Sanıyorum artık senin okula gidip okuma yazmaöğrenmenin zamanı geldi. Ne dersin?” demiş. Thomasçocukların hem ders öğrenip hem kalabileceği bir okuldanbahsetmiş.

Around Magozwe’s tenth birthday, Thomas gave him a newstorybook. It was a story about a village boy who grew up tobe a famous soccer player. Thomas read that story toMagozwe many times, until one day he said, “I think it’stime you went to school and learned to read. What do youthink?” Thomas explained that he knew of a place wherechildren could stay, and go to school.

Magozwe bu bahsedilen okulu ve okula gitmeyi düşünmeyebaşlamış. Ya amcası haklı çıkarsa? Ya gerçekten onun dediğigibi bir şey öğrenemeyecek kadar aptalsa? Ya bu yeni yerdedayak yerse? İçini bir korku sarmış. “Belki de sokaktakalmam daha iyi,” diye düşünmüş.

Magozwe thought about this new place, and about going toschool. What if his uncle was right and he was too stupid tolearn anything? What if they beat him at this new place? Hewas afraid. “Maybe it is better to stay living on the street,”he thought.

Magozwe okula başlamış ama tabii çok zormuş. Geri kaldığıbir sürü şeyi öğrenerek sınıfın seviyesine yetişmesigerekiyormuş. Bazen umudunu yitirip vazgeçmeyidüşündüğü de oluyormuş. Ama sonra pilot ve futbolcu olançocukların hikayesi geliyormuş aklına. Tıpkı onlar gibi o dapes etmemeliymiş.
