What has she been doing all this time?   Chapter 24                                     

All this time she has left, she has tried to work on a job that would allow her to eat and find a new life. Each day or night she arrived in white or blue skeleton costume.  She never knew how long she would be there, or if she could have something to eat. She had to find someone to find out what to do next. Again the cotton candy man watched her.

She looked all over the place. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were beginning to leak. All of a sudden a bright orange spot was coming her way. 'Oh Harry, I am so glad you are here. Can you please tell me how to hide from that horrbile man? He wants me to clean out all those trash cans.' Becka's eyes were watering behind her mask. Her tiny body was shaking.

'Listen to me kid, don't be so worried. I'll grab a few of my freinds to come help you. Don't be such a sucker and take it all in like that. You won't ever grow up strong. Now go on before he sees you Becky.' Harry watched the young girl walk off. Each day he had to talk to her, it just could not be good for this young kid to be so far away from her parents. He and the clown were thinking it might be good to find out who she really is.

The youngest was always given the worst jobs. The carnival had hundreds of barrels of trash. They had to be cleaned and santized each night. Becka was usually given this job, but a few of the others helped her. Others played in the golf course and laughed about her having to clean so many. They were the older kids, and knew they only had fiftey trash cans to clean when they were young. 

After the horrible job was done, with some help of others, she walked off to find something else to do.
