Alissa 3

5
The next morning, the thin man takes Alissa into the house.
'This is Alissa,' the man says to his wife.
"She likes reading.' They laugh.

Suddenly the woman shouts at Alissa.
'You aren't going to read here,' she shouts.
'You're going to cook and clean and wash.'
Alissa works fifteen hours a day.
The woman shouts at her every day.
Alissa is very unhappy. She cries every night.


One day, the thin man says to Alissa,
'Pack your things. You must go. My
wife doesn't like you.”
The thin man takes her to a clothes
shop in the city. The shop owner is a large woman.
She gives man some the money.
He goes away. He doesn't say
goodbye to Alissa. 


Alissa works with five other girls. They
work in a small, dark room.

The girls work all day. They make
clothes. They work twelve hours a day.
At midday, they eat lunch. After lunch,
they rest for ten minutes. At night, they
sleep on the floor.
