I live with my grandmother.
We live in a small hut.
People think we are poor.
I think happiness is wealth.
We are happy.

My teachers asked my grandmother to make jerseys for them.
Soon, everyone in the village wanted a jersey.
Grandmother made a jersey for everyone.
She sold the jerseys.
Now, we have more money.

No one thinks we are poor anymore.
I cannot take off the jersey my grandmother made for me.
It makes me feel so proud of her.
