"Then I go to my boss’s workshop. I’m an apprentice carpenter. As a
carpenter you can make money quite easily and quickly. I’ve been going to the
workshop for four years. I do whatever my boss asks me to -- mainly cutting wood to the
right size and sanding it. My boss makes all sorts of things: beds, cupboards, shelves --
anything you might want. I usually spend about four hours there, and sometimes make some
small tools to sell. From time to time my boss gives me a little pocket money, but not
enough! My mum and dad also give me pocket money which I save. I only buy tea and
sometimes peanuts and bananas. |

| "When I’m not doing homework or carpentry, I’m out playing
with my friends. I like playing football, riding my bike, and making tea best. We don’t usually go very far on our bikes, just around
the district. I usually come home at about 6.00 to watch cartoons on the TV outside the
compound gate, under the tree. Then I go and wash before our evening meal."
