Town School for Boys Library

In Chapter 6 of The Golden Rat, we meet a “salt girl,” a child whose job is to wash dead fish in a bucket, salt them, and wrap them in lotus leaves.  What do you think this little girl’s backstory is?  Who is she? Where does she come from? Does she have parents? A family?  Where does she live?  What does she eat?  How does she survive?  Use your imaginations!
