One kid’s toy…..

They say a picture tells 1000 words but this one might be telling more. A viewer may have different opinions about this picture depending on what part of the world they come from. According to the photographer he was trying to portray poverty in Laos, the fact that they cant even afford the toys for their toddlers and they rely on mother nature to provide their kids what to play with.

Like i said how you look at this picture depends on what part of the world you come from. Here in the United States majority of the people would look at this picture with disgust, where as in Laos they would pull out a string when they came across a grasshopper for their kids to play with, here a parent would pull out a fly swatter.

But i think this picture illustrates just how much nature and the things around us can be helpful and how “fortunate” kids from the United States are, i put fortunate in quotes because having your own ipad at age one may not be interpreted as fortunate by the people of Laos, if you look at how beautiful and peaceful that baby is, it shows you that grasshoppers have probably been doing a great job in entertaining her
