Once Before

I don't know this little blokes name or where his village is because he didn't speak a word, he laid quietly in the water while I took his photo.

I pressed the shutter and turned my camera around to show him the photo I'd just taken to see if he liked it and the most amazing thing happened, his eyes widened in disbelief and he looked up at me and smiled.... he'd never seen a photo of himself before.
