My sister told me we were going on holiday. She took me to a woman’s house. I washed the clothes, the plates and looked after her baby. Madame didn’t let me go out
Madame hit me because I didn’t wash the plates or the clothes well. I was scared of her. At night I dreamed of going home.
I wanted to leave but my sister told me I had to stay. I told her I wanted to go home and go back to school but she refused.
Someone came to Madame’s house and told her they were going to take me away. I was so happy to come home. I was sent back to school.
