One day as a child in a informal settlement

It was a Monday morning. I had no sleep because it was raining and I had to sleep on the floor. It also flooded so I didn’t have dry clothes.so I had to try and dry it with a cloth. So when I went to school I had no food I had to walk even though I had no shoes. It takes me 1 hour to get to school. I really dream to get shoes and to have a warm home.  I finally get to school and I can see mud everywhere. As I walked in the classroom there was water everywhere. The teacher was starting to teach.there is like 64 kids in my class. No one has there own book. I was very nauseous because I hadn’t eaten. As I was walking back home I stopped at the barber because they have a TV. I mostly come there to watch soccer. When we win they play music really loud and everyone joins in to dance. I really wish I could have my parents around. We never have fun because they are always at work.  I really wish we had more money for  clean water and a house that doesn’t fall apart ...

The Singing Inspector

It was the beginning of school and I was so very frightened.I saw him but I don’t think I have ever seen someone so angry in my life.He had these knickerbockers and a umbrella in his hand.He looked so angry.As he walked in he gave every one a great stare.I also noticed his white teeth. He called us up first it was me and Charles.I felt like crying.I was so very frightened.So he turned on the moderator and called us long and short.As I stood there I couldn’t say a word.He got so angry so it just slipped out of my mouth.I started to sing Pretty Polly and he was so very angry and he just kicked us both out.I was actually pretty happy because  I was finally out.
