Children and adults.

Someone said: �The person lives until six?� But what happens after it?
And after it you can be confronted with difficulties of the life that surrounds you. That's why you should use any ways to manage with them. But when you are small?
Childhood is mostly happy time of your life when you don't know what lie, need and sorrow are. You needn't to think, how to cope with any difficulties, because you have trustworthy defenders.

Paul, the child, decided to try to help his mother to get more money, but he didn't know that it couldn't be easy and there couldn't be enough money at all. But he was trying and trying until he went off his head, until his death. Paul's death is as a result of negligence on his mother's part and on the part of his uncle, Oscar. No one prevented him from that misfortune, no one stopped him on time.
And even that this story is like a shockingly disturbing tale of a mother's absent affection for her...
