How long have you been a maid?

I've been at this house for two years.

How did you come to work here?

My brother brought me here. There was no school where I lived. Here, I go to school in the morning, and then I work the rest of the day.

Where is your favorite place?

The mountain behind us is very pretty, like a picture from a book. Sometimes I leave here and walk in the forest. It is quiet. I can think of my mother, my sisters. The mountain asks nothing of me.

Not like here. Here there is always too much to do, and I am not a very good maid. My boss complains! My hands are dirty... my pockets always full of leaves and sticks.
