"Ono is sad because he doesn’t have friends. But his sister Janda is nice to him. She calls to him, ’Come quick! Don’t be sad, mom made some manioc. It’s really good.’ His mom is nice to him too. She consoles him: "It’s not your fault if you didn’t catch any fish. Next time it’ll go better," she says.

Sometimes my mom is tired. So I wash the plates and the glasses. Sometimes she gives me money that I save for buying shoes and clothes."
