Hi, I'm Sarah.  This is where I live.
3
We sleep, eat and play in this room that we rent.
4
I sleep in this bed with all my brothers and
sisters.  Mum and Dad sleep in the other bed,
with the babies nearby.
5
Mum cooks our food on the range.  For breakfast
we have porridge, bread and milk.  For dinner we
have potatoes, baconand vegetables.  On Sundays
we have bread and cheese.
6
Sometimes there is no money to feed our big
family so we beg for scraps.  Mum mends clothes
to make some extra money.
7
My family is poor so I don't go to school.  My
brother Tom is a mudlark.  He looks in the mud
for things to sell like pieces of coal.
8
We share the outside toilet and water pump with
25 families. There is always a long queue.  The
water is often dirty, and in the Summer sometimes
there is no water at all.

I like to play.  I skip with my friends in our
street.  Tom plays with a hoop and a stick or he
uses stones to play marbles with his friends.
