Chapter for American Book<br />

by Kharap Juta<br />

My job in <strong>the</strong> factory is very hard. I am made to stitch shoes for many hours. It is hard for me<br />

to stitch, but <strong>the</strong> men do not care. Yesterday, I punctured my finger on <strong>the</strong> machine. I tried to<br />

squeeze it, but <strong>the</strong> bleeding would not stop. When I asked <strong>the</strong> men to let me go see <strong>the</strong> nurse<br />

at <strong>the</strong> mission hospital, <strong>the</strong>y hit me with insoles.<br />

My twelve-year-old sister Choto began to yell at <strong>the</strong> men. I told her to be quiet and return<br />

to her work. The men told me that if she causes trouble again, <strong>the</strong>y will fire her, and she<br />

will have to become a prostitute.<br />

I am dizzy with hunger.
