I sat on a slab with my mother, we we’re stranded, with nowhere to go.
“My daughter, I am sorry that you’ve got a useless mother like ms”she said in tears.
“Don’t say that mother,I thank God for giving me a mother like you, mom, I promise that I will take back what belongs to us”I said. She pulled me in her arms.
“Debbie, what more can I ask from God? Your the best thing that has ever happened to me, I can’t believe I have a very brave daughter like you”she said.
“Mom, let’s now go”I said.

“Village of course”I said
“But I have no money with me”she said.
“Here, this is all I have”I said handing her the money that boy gave me weeks ago.
