The hospital doors burst open, and a thin, poorly dressed boy walked in—completely alone. Holding his hand tightly over his stomach, he groaned in pain. But when the doctors began their examination, they were horrified by what they discovered inside him…

Late that evening, the emergency room doors opened once again, and a small boy, no more than nine years old, stepped inside.

He was by himself, wearing worn-out clothes that hung loosely on his frail frame.

His face was pale, his lips trembled, and he clutched his stomach with both hands.

“My… stomach hurts a lot…” he whispered weakly.

The nurse froze for a moment—he had come without any adult. The on-call doctor was summoned immediately, and the boy was taken into an examination room.

“What’s your name? Where are your parents? Did you fall? Did you hurt yourself?” the doctor asked.

But the boy only shook his head and kept repeating:
“My stomach… it hurts…”

Not a word about his family. No clue about where he came from. The look in his eyes was pure fear.

The doctors decided to run an X-ray. But when the first images appeared on the screen, a stunned silence fell over the room. No one could believe what they were seeing. What was hidden inside the boy’s stomach was far more terrifying than anyone could have imagined…

On the X-ray screen, the outlines were unmistakable: inside the child’s stomach were coins, buttons, and small pieces of metal. The room went completely still.
