See - A photo that is worth a million laughs

In May this year, I was fortunate enough to visit the historic city of Damascus. Walking around what is claimed to be the oldest inhabited city in the world, you really feel the magic that is pulsating in the air.

It was during this visit that I took a picture that never fails to make me smile. While exploring the cramped, winding streets of the old city, I came across a young boy of around three years old. Upon seeing me, the youngster climbed on a cart, and assumed the position you see in the picture. Highly bemused and amused, I took some photos of the scene. The boy remained in this exact same position - head down, bum up high in the air - for a good few minutes. As I began to walk away, I noticed a man appear and hand the boy...sweets! He then came down from the cart and ran off.  Poor boy wanted payment for his efforts...
