The Haves And Haves Not Children

One should not begging for money
One should be begging for knowledge
A story of a poor boy first day at school
He stood at the doorstep silently
He saw the other children writing
He couldn't write or read
Long would he remember 
The moment he stepped 
Into that classroom
He crossed a threshold 
That would forever change his life.
