Lop
The tale of Lop is one both grim and funny. It is the tale of a talented man who set out on a life of adventure only to discover he had no taste for it.
Lop was abandoned by his family at the age of 4. Left in a gutter, he survived by eating rats and scrounging in trash.
In time he learned how to cook and began cooking for a group of other street urchins. They brought him scraps and he made them into meals. He mended clothes, cleaned discarded blankets and helped younger orphans survive.
