Once there was a dance competition where children were supposed to participate. Being a part of the newly formed social service group, I had taken few homeless children for the competition. They were all talented, and they could dance very well. I intended to give the kids an opportunity to show their talent in front of so many people. However, the problem was that they were not enrolled in any school, and the organizers of the competition were not ready to allow the homeless kids.
