A Problem with OrphansA gang of orphans scoured the city for scraps to live on. Their findings were scant but enough to savor and survive. It was a savage life and as their numbers grew, so did the scrutiny given to them by the people they encountered. Whereas they had been greeted often with sarcastic comments in the early days, now they were mostly scoffed at, scorned by restaurant owners and greeted with scowls. The orphans had to scramble more than ever to keep from being caught.When it became obvious that the city was saturated with orphans, city officials decided something needed to be done. Not wanting to create a satire, however, they decided that they would collect the orphans, scrub them clean, and give them new homes. saucepans and scarves were collected as the first gifts to give to each orphan.When the roundup began most of the orphans were near a sculpture in the city that they treated as their home base. They screeched and ran when they saw the large number of police coming for them. They were all caught.The newspaper scoop of the day was an image of one particularly scarred orphan being washed three times to get rid of the scent of the city sewers. And because of the positive efforts of the city officials everyone became friendly towards the orphans and all were placed in homes with people who would love them as if they were their own children.

孤儿问题一群孤儿在城里四处搜索残羹剩饭混时度日。他们找到的东西不多但足够品尝和维持生命。这是一种野蛮人的生活，而且随着他们人数的增加，他们碰到的人给予他们的监视也在增加。最早的时候，人们总是用讽刺的话跟他们打招呼，现在却主要被饭店老板嘲笑和鄙视，他们打招呼时会阴沉着脸。孤儿们得比以前更加能够会抢会跑才会不被抓住。很显然城里的孤儿已经人满为患，这时市政府的官员们认为应该采取点措施。然而，他们不想人觉得这是个讽刺，所以决定把孤儿们聚到一起，把他们擦洗干净，给他们提供新家。他们搜集了许多深底平锅和围巾作为送给每个孤儿的第一份礼物。这次聚拢开始的时候，大部分孤儿正在一个被他们视为大本营的市雕附近。看到大批警察向他们走过来，他们尖叫着撒腿就跑，但是都被抓住了。当天报纸的独家新闻刊登了一个身上带疤的孤儿的照片，照片上说他被洗了三次以去掉他身上城市污水管道的气味。由于市政府官员的积极努力，每个人都对孤儿们变得友好起来，所有孤儿都被家庭领养了，这些家庭愿意像爱亲生孩子那样爱他们。
