I read a story about a little boy in west Africa who's name is Abasi. In his country it is very hard to get water because they have to walk several miles to collect water from the river. But this river water is dirty and makes them sick.
In my house we have clean water on demand and we can drink it without worrying about getting ill. If his father gets sick then Abasi has to go to work for him and miss school. I think Abasi feels upset when he misses school. And I would hate it if it happened to me. It must be difficult for everyone in Abasi's family to enjoy their lives if they are always getting sick and unable to do the things that they need to do.
