This is a story from my childhood in Sri Lanka in the mid 1980s. A younger boy from a lower social class has to provide a paid service to the boys from an upper social class. All goes well until he is obedient.

NB: Please note that an earlier edition of this story appears in my book titled The Sea Hoarse And The Almond.
