Dear diary,

This week has been exhausting. Firstly I woke up at the beginning of the week and I found out that my little sister Dineo is really sick. Then, I asked Nono if we could send a telegram to Mma but Nono said no because it will worry her. So I went and asked my friend Polen if she could do our chores if we went to Mma. Polen said " ok but I will give you some sweet potatoes and water."

We left the next day at sunrise. We walked nearly a whole day. Then we stopped at an orange tree farm,there was a barbed fence Tiro decided to climb under the fence to get some oranges. But suddenly a boy came running towards us, he shouted what are you doing here ? you will get caught." Tiro answered " we are going to jo'burg. "you should sleep here then but you need to be quiet i will come and get you later at sundown when the farmer is eating his supper." the boy told us. By the time it was sundown the boy came back and took us to a barn full of hay. The next day we hurried out of the orange farm befor the farmer noticed us. We walked for about 2 hours. Then we heared rumbling of a truck from the distance coming towards us.

Suddenly, the truck stopped and the man inside came out. He asked us were we where going."We are going to Jo'burg" i told him. Rra said " ok do you want a ride inside the truck?" Me and Tiro off course wanted a ride so we jumped onto the back. After a hour Tiro descided to look over the side. I quickly told him he shouldn't do that, suddenly the truck rode over a bump and Tiro nearly fell out of the truck. Later on we were finally there. Rra took us to the bus and we said goodbye. After getting of the bus we only had to walk three blocks until we were there. Finally, we saw the door
