I am all alone with my sister and brother. My mother and father have passed away. I can hear my sister cry at night. We miss our parents and we have no MONEY. There is a huge drought so we have very little water. My older brother will try to get a job as a farmer. We have to go 2 miles to go to a river and wash our clothes. I have a small cold so I cant go anywhare or go out of my room or else my sister Rose and my brother Tom will get sick. wel i have to go.
