    In the heart of a bustling city, a small figure was often seen wandering the streets. This was a young boy, lost and alone, with no one to turn to for help. He was like a ghost, invisible to the people around him. They were so engrossed in their own lives that they couldn't see the suffering of the child right in front of their eyes.

    The boy, compelled by hunger, would walk aimlessly in search of food. He had a usual path, a route where he had found scraps of food in the past. But today, something was different. He felt a strange urge to change his path.

    He decided to listen to this instinct and took a different route that day. As he walked, he noticed that the usual noise of the city seemed to fade away. The air around him felt different - a sense of unfamiliarity surrounded him.

    Suddenly, he heard a voice calling out to him. "Stop, boy!" The voice was firm and strong, unlike the uncaring whispers he usually heard. He turned around to see a man running towards him.

    Fear gripped the boy, making him run away. But he tripped on something invisible and fell. The man caught up to him and offered him a reassuring smile. "Don't be scared," he said. "I just want to help you."

    The man told the boy that he could provide him with food and a family. The boy, tired and hungry, was hesitant. He was used to false promises. But something in the man's eyes told him that he could trust him.

    The man took the boy to a place he had never seen before - an adoption centre. It was a warm and inviting place, filled with laughter and smiles. The boy felt a glimmer of hope light up in his heart.

    The people at the adoption centre welcomed the boy with open arms. They gave him food and clothes and a bed to sleep in. For the first time in a long time, the boy didn't have to worry about his next meal or where he would sleep.
