The Inspiration

Every morning when Craig was 12 years old, he woke up and had breakfast reading the comics in the newspaper. But one morning Craig never reached the comics section; he stopped on the first page of the newspaper. There he saw a picture of a boy, similar to Craig’s age, holding up a pencil. His name was Iqbal Masih. The article told of how Iqbal, a former child slave, was shot in front of his uncle’s house because of his activism against child labour.
