Today we have a good expression, but it's a little bit sad, those poor children.

So the word poor in this case means helpless.

Those helpless children, those helpless people, those helpless animals.

So, when people or children or animals are victims of something, some sort of tragedy, then we say, those poor children, those poor people, those poor animals.

So if there's a war or an earthquake or a storm, some sort of tragedy, where people or children or animals become victims and they're helpless, we can say, we can use the word poor.

We need to tell our leaders, no more war.

And the second meaning of poor was penniless.

Okay, so the pronunciation is the same, but the meaning is different.

Tomorrow, I'll have a happier expression.
