messing around until my mother comes with a big stick and she
didn’t stop beat both of us because she could.

I couldn’t stand still I had to do something and if nothing I had to do
I was creating a problem just to keep me busy. I was asking too

many questions at the class and the teacher put it in my head that I

was thick and not very clever ,

The most shameful thing was when spring time was coming I was

watching two sparrows building the nest by the school window, First

time I was looking at such a thing I was 8 years old.

The teacher saw me and he came beat me ten times with the stick an

for punishment for a week I had to stay stand by the board where all
the others were looking at me and I am sure they re laughing but I

like to say I do not remember doing so.

Of course back home my mother saw my hands were bruised she ask

why is that, I told het what happened and she continue to beat me the

same because I was a bad student.

Hell got loose with those people I couldn’t find justice and when I

thought my sister may help me and save me oh yes she just ignored

me the night.

Painful memory which haunts me in my dreams till today was and is

every night the farther drunk comes home and have sex with mother
while she was a sleep and she was tired.

But he was forcing himself and she was crying night after night I
use to take the pillow and cover my head until they finish, after I will

sleep or go to my sisters bed.
