I went back to the 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 very tired.

Martha and my friends were waiting for me.

First I must have an identity card. And I tolk Martha 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.
