    Dear father,

    I am living in London.

    I am well and I live with people from my country.

    I am sending you 100 in this letter, This is for you and my mother.

    Love to you and mother.

    Saul.

    “One hundred pounds!” I said to the school teacher. “You are wrong, It is a mistake.”

    “No”,The school teacher said. “I am not wrong, It is not a mistake. Here is the money”. And he gave me a piece of paper.

    “What is this?” I asked.

    “It is a money order,” The school teacher said.

    “Go to Darpur, Take this money order to the Post Office in the Darpur. The money order is worth one hundred pounds. The Post Office official will give you the money.”

    “One hundred pounds!” I said again.

    Everyone laughed and said, “Adam, you are a rich man, you can buy a lot of things for your farm and for your house.”

    “And I can buy some food and drink in Darpur. I am going to give a party for you all,”I told my friends.

    Marth said, ”Saul is a good son.”

    That evening, the village people talked about the money order and my money.

    Marth and I also talked about the money. We needed many things for the farm.
