Dear Diary,

What an exhausting day it has been! It all began yesterday, when my baby sister called Dineo was ill and we didn't we didn't have any money to give to the doctor. Then we went off on our journey to find our mother in Jo-burg. We stopped at a place where my friend called Poleng was selling sweet potato so we got some and headed of. Halfway, we saw a truck that was going to Jo-burg so we stopped the driver. As we got the drivers attension, he pulled over. We asked him if we could come with him and he said sure.

While sitting in the truck it randomly stopped. I asked the driver why he stopped and he told us that he needed a rest.When we got out of the truck we saw an orange tree farm so we rushed over. We picked some oranges of the tree and i gave some to Tiro. As soon as i finished my oranges, i searched around for a good spot to sleep for the night. As we found a nice spot to sleep Tiro suddenly fell a sleep. As Tiro woke up the sky was pitch black and gloomy. I could see cars zooming by as i gazed into the sky. In my village we would see 3 cars once a year. Suddenly in the distance we saw a man with a flash light coming towards us so we ran away and ducked behind a tree and hoped he didn't find us.

We had to be careful because there was barbed wire right behind my back. Suddenly i felt someone touch my back so i turned around and it was the man. He fortunately told us that we could stay.
