Poor and RIch Chapter 4

    And he gave me a mirror and a comb.

    "I do not want a mirror, I do not want a comb. Please take my photograph. I am going to Minta this afternoon. And I am in hurry." I said.

    "Yes,"  he said. "But first the price. The is the best camera in the Darpur and I am the best photographer. Three photographs will cost you two pounds fifty."

    "Two pounds fifty?" And I laughed.

    "Two pounds fifty and pay me now please." The photographer answered.

    What could I do? I did not know the price of the photographs.

    The the photographer said, "You are an old man, for you ,the price is two pounds."

    So I gave him the money and he took the photographs.

    "Come back tomorrow morning," he said.

    "I want my three photographs now, immediately." I said.

    "Do not be stupid," The photographer said, "Photographs take twenty four hours. Come back tomorrow."

    What could I do? So I said, "Yes, Tomorrow morning."

    "Good," said the photographer, "Now go, I have a lot of work, I am very busy."

    I went back to bus station. I sat on the bus for three hours.

    I walked ten miles back to my village.

    It was night time and I was tired.

    Marth and my friends were waiting for me.

    "Where is the money?" Martha asked.

    "I have no money, I can not change the money order. First I must have an identity Card." And I told Marth everything.

    "Tomorrow I am going to Darpur again." I said.

    Then I did not talk again.

    I was very tired and it was late at night.

    I lay on my bed and I slept.
