I woke up to the sound of smoke at night, and my vision was blurred. I searched through the darkness for my touch light that I bought from Abu, a trader that sells electronics and batteries. I managed to locate the door from the holes on this zinc, with the moonlight shining brightly at night. My neighbours were far asleep; we closed late that day.

I remembered walking down to school early in the morning through the narrow ways amidst the city. Taking a task will not be suitable for you as a student, because you will be punished every day for late coming, due to the traffic of cars arranged in rolls that the car engine thought that the journey was over.
