An alice band that matched her dress was neatly tied around her head. She was feeling beautiful, although the clothes she was wearing were not expensive. The dress she was wearing was from a bundle of clothes that were donated to the orphanage by the Red Cross Army.

The matchIt was obvious that Maria was not getting away from the snare of being pinned on being a thief. Everytime she opened her mouth, it seemed like she was putting herself in more trouble. Her tears were in vain. Sister Mary was not moved by her cracodile tears, as she( sister Mary) described Maria's crying. She was even tempted to slapping her but tried to control herself since other nuns were watching, not that she was shaken by the fact that they were looking at her but she was trying to act as professional as possible. Deep down in her heart she wanted to sort the matter by getting physical with the little girl who was already about to wet herself because of the pressure she was in."Not a fat chance, you are not gonna get away with this nonsense of yours", said sister Mary as she left the room.

She put on the big cowboy hat and it made her look like a shepherdess. Sister Mary gave her an axe to chop some wood so that she could be able to make fire. The big black pots were already filled with water to cook the porridge. She chopped the woods with trembling hands. It was so freezy and the frost was covering the surface of the ground.

Her father used to do that when her mother was about to make fire. Now it was her who was doing all that work. She knew if she took a long time to finish the chopping, sister Mary would be on her as there would be no porridge for children to eat before t
