"One hundred pounds!"I said to the school teacher."You're wrong.It's mistake."
"No",the school teacher said."I'm not wrong.It's not a mistake.Here is the money."And he gave me a piece of paper.
"What is this?"I asked.
"A money order,"the school teacher said.
"Go to Darpur.Take this money order to the Post Office in 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 many things for your farm and for your house."
"And I can buy some good food and drink in Darpur.I am going to give a party for you all ",I told my friends.
Martha said,"Saul is a good son."

亲爱的爸爸：
我现在住在伦敦。
我有一份在工厂上班的工作。这份工作非常辛苦。我经常要工作到深夜。但是报酬很丰厚。
我很好，而且跟我一起住的是来自我们村庄的人。
我给你寄了100元在信里。这是给你跟妈妈的。
爱你跟妈妈。

“一百英镑!”我对学校老师说：“你一定读错了。这是个错误。”
“没有，”学校老师说：“我没有读错。这不是一个错误。这是钱。”然后他给了我一张纸。
“这是什么？”我问道。
“一张汇款单，”老师回答。
“去多普。带着这张汇款单去多普的邮局。这张汇款单代表100英镑的钱。邮局的办公人员会给你钱的。”
“一百英镑。”我重复道。
每个人都大笑起来说，“艾达木，现在你是有钱人了，你可以买很多的东西给你的农场和家里。”
“我也可以在多普买一些好吃的食物和喝的。我要和你们一起庆祝一下。”我对我的朋友们说。
玛莎说：“索罗是个好儿子。”
那个傍晚，村民们谈论着那张支票和我的钱。
玛莎和我也谈论着这笔钱。我们需要给我们的农场添很多的东西。
