On the morning of that day, a big bomb fell on the city of Hiroshima.- Many
people lost their lives, and many others were injured. They had burns all over their
bodies.
was very sad when I saw those people.
It was a very hot day. Some of the people fell down near me. I said to them,
“Come and rest in my shade. You'llbe all right soon."
Night came. Some people were already dead. I heard a weak voice. It was a
lullaby. Ayoung girl was singing to a little boy.
“Mommy! Mommy!” the boy cried.
“Don't cry,” the girl said. “Mommyis here.” Then she began to sing again.
She was very weak, but she tried to be a mother to the poor Ilittle boy. She held
him in her arms like a real mother.
