As children we don't know who we are. All we have is our dreams which will eventually make us into knowers of whatever we think we know when we are adults. As children the horizons and ideas of ourselves are not yet limited by the fulfilment (or not) of our dreams. As adults we have already created our identities which are displayed in our life actions. It is a splendrous time to be young and to not know who we are and to have the identities forgeable before us.

Two little whos is a short yet meaning full poem. It tells the story if how who little children not unlike Hansel and Grettle. they came to the hill to receive a pale of water and came back getting hurt and not having any water at all.
