The old man gets the metal plate and makes as many as 850 holes in there; it takes him about a day and he earns about 3 Dollars; This young man had recently moved to Yazd with his dad. He is only 7 years old. His mom had died of cancer and his dad had just remarried. He can't go to school. So, everyday he chases tourists, like myself, and show them around for a small fee.
