China's little devils. Two boys are here again far. They want to see you. Did not you tell them to go home a couple of days ago?
They have no home. They are orphans. They have been following us for two days now? Yes, far. We cannot have them following us. Bring them over soon. Yes, far. Soon brought the two boys in, ragged undernourished youngsters with solemn faces.
Unafraid, they stood before the officer of the Chinese Red Army. You want to go with us? Yes, we want to join your army. How old are you? I am 13, and Yang Fashang here is 12.
The army is no place for you. I can blow the bugle. I can read and write, and I can help. You are children. You do not belong here. We will do anything if you will let us go with you.
What is your name? I am one called Yang Fashang, and I can blow the bugle. You go and you I am one called low Thai tune. You soldiers have been kind to us. They have given us food all winter. We had almost no food.
Oh, what do you think? The army can be no worse than the lives they are living. Besides, they have no parents and no home and nowhere to go. If you will let us go along, we will help you.
