Original Caption: Group picking shrimp. Olga, 5 years old on the end was helping mother. I tried to get her photo at home when they stopped working but the child stubbornly refused to be taken. Her mother said, She's ugly, but it seemed to me that the child could be expected to be tired out after work that began so early. Work was light and only a small crew was working.
