Living in the Great Depression!

By: Clarice S
New Jersey, Grade: 5

Today was a plum month and plums are not all that easy to collect and package. But that's not all that happend the boss came down today, some girls on my camp never saw the boss and I couln't wait to tell them! But it wasn't all fun he came down with some boarder patrol officers with him. I tired to stay calm and not seem like I was an immagrant. I didn't want them to deport me back to my country. I did a wonderful job packageing the plum and got 50 cents for packageing 50 bags. At least I will be able to pay half of the grociers for this week.
