BR 1-07: Alissa

I read 'Alissa' today. So, I will talk about the book this time.

Alissa is a girl who lives in small village. She likes reading, so she read a book everyday. One day, her father talked with a fat man about Alissa. Her father said her "Alissa, you must go with the man, and you have to work in the city!". Alissa didn't like a fat man, so She didn't want to go. But she must go with him. A fat man gave some money to her father.

She wanted to go to school in her small village.

Alissa and a fat man arrived in the city, and she met a thin man. She lived in his house. His wife is very severe with Alissa, so she cried every night. A thin man's wife didn't like Alissa.

One day, a thin man too Alissa out, and he said "You must go. My wife hates you".

Next, Alissa worked with five other girls in a small and dark room. Their owners was also severe, so they had to work twelve hours in a day.

The owner noticed that Alissa can reading and writing, so the owner made her work in the owner's shop. Alissa met a tall and pretty lady in there. Alissa likes her because she gives smile to Alissa.

One day, the owner was angry, and she said "You don't leave the shop again! You are a not good girl!!" Alissa started to cry, and she thought that "I am not slave for you!!"

Then, a tall and pretty lady came the shop, and she said that Alissa is a very good girl! And she asked Alissa "What do you want to do?". Alissa said her " I want to go to school!" A tall and pretty lady decided to take Alissa out, and they left for lady's house.

Alissa is not a slave. So, she is going to go to school. And She is going to live happily with a tall and pretty lady.

I thought this story is very sad. Alissa's father is cruel to sell Alissa. But, Alissa's father and mother had to sell their daughter, because they also must live. I hope that Alissa come to laugh more in the future.
