quite poor. Once time I saw a beautiful but expensive doll of my friend. I liked it and hope I would have one but my mother had no money to buy it. She said sorry while I cried loudly and said that:" I hate mom." You can imagine that my suddenly sentence made my mother really sad and she felt she couldn’t give me everything I need.
