Les Misérables

You know kids, you could learn a lot from Indian beggars. Thousands of young beggars in India are learning a few extra languages in time  for the onslaught of tourists for next year’s Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. French and Spanish are the most popular of choice amongst child beggars. Ooh and classes have already started in Lal Quarter (popular beggar hang out).Raju Sansi, one of the teachers said: “Students are taught how to say phrases like ’I am an orphan’, ’I have not eaten for days’, ’I am ill and have no money for medicine, please help me in the name of God’.” Bless, they are also trained to identify the different currencies and their values. Yes, very important, don’t want to be short changed by some dodgy tourist.

Psst Imagine, when the kids grow up they could get a job as a telemarketer just about anywhere!
