The troublesome maids in the Dangerous City
INTRODUCTION
We watched our mother going down the grave .The only person who was supporting us was the only person we were left with. My friends patted my back as we walked back and served everyone. What am I going to do. How am I going to avoid varsity life. I can't continue to live in the villages, I have big dreams.
