A young cowboy cries as he rides his horse during the annual International Livestock Show in Havana, Cuba, on Saturday, Oct. 2

Little buckaroo

I wonder why pictures that show a child in distress in a harmless situation often elicit a chuckle, albeit an empathetic chuckle, from many of us. Maybe it is because if this little guy were to see this picture years down the road, he'd probably look back and have a little laugh himself.

    I think this is sad. I wonder why he is crying.
