The Rich Little Poor Boy

A resourceful ten-year-old boy living in poverty sustains himself through elaborate make-believe, using a treasured telephone directory and imaginary conversations to impersonate wealth and summon fancied luxuries. His play engages a loyal girl friend and draws him into friendships, rivalries, and encounters with stern adults and local roughs. Episodes move between comic fantasy and harsher tests that challenge his courage, loyalties, and self-image. Through misadventures, secrets revealed, and hard choices, he faces the costs of pride and gradually reshapes his ambitions and responsibilities, finding unexpected allies and new directions for hope.
