"'he was just hungry, papa. he's going to die. he's going to die anyway. he's so scared, papa.' the man squatted and looked at him. 'i'm scared,' he said. 'do you understand? i'm scared.' the boy didn't answer. he just sat there with his head down, sobbing. 'you're not the one who has to worry about everything.' Tte boy said something but he couldn't understand him. 'what?' he said. he looked up, his wet and grimy face. 'yes i am,' he said. 'i am the one'" ... cormac mccarthy
