Maruge visit 5

I woke up, went strait to the school, and on my way i saw Maruge walking behind me. I stopped and waited for him. "Good morning Maruge" i said, "Good morning" he replied. It was very hot outside, and Maruge looked kinda tired. "Did you sleep well?" i asked "No, but enough for the day." We walked in the class room and sat down. "Maruge, do you know how to read?" i said "Well i came back too school  to learn how to write and read." i was about to say something when the the teacher walked in. "Good morning class".

When class ended, i asked Maruge if i could work  in his garden, and he told me i could. When we got to his hut, he walked in and brought out a wooden stick with sharp metal on the end."This is my rake that i made". He walked up on the dirt and started to rake the ground. he stopped and handed me that rake, "You try." I grabbed the rake, and started on the ground. "I love your garden." It was very beautiful, and it had looked like he had worked so hard on it. "Thank you, Lily." "Do you have children?" i asked. "I did but the British killed my family. I had a beautiful wife and a beautiful baby. They killed them." he said. " I'm so sorry." I said wanting to cry. We worked on the garden until the sun went down, and we talked a lot, he told me things about the british and his family. It was really fun.
