A man comes from the city looking for a ten-year-old boy, to work for him. In order to get the job, the boy has to participate in a contest with other poor children. The man will employ whoever can carry a crippled child - who lost his legs in war - to school on his back. A tough contest takes place and finally, the boy wins. For one dollar a day him carries the crippled boy to school and back. Like a horse. He races with donkeys in the street. He bathes his crippled charge; he plays with him. But the crippled boy is never happy: he had asked his father to buy him a horse, not a boy.
