Legenda Palui 04

THE HABITS

04-10

My father went to the bathroom. He brushed his old tooth. But something looked strange. He could smoke and brush his tooth in the same time.

Do you know why? It was because his tooth was imitation artificial tooth. He brushed his tooth with a weird paste. It called HABUDENT. I waited him while ate some chocolates. This was my favorite food. The sun was getting higher.

At last, we went together. We worked at a refinery. We worked ten hours each day. We had lunch at rest time. After that, we continued our job. The total of all workers were one hundred persons. We worked hard. In that day, we went home early. The day was payday. The big boss gave us our wages. We were very happy.

In the way of our house, I did not see the bad thing happened. I thought he had forgotten about his bad dream. Maybe because he had money after one month the big boss did not give us money. We still continued our journey. When we saw our house, we were very surprised. Some parts of our house were closed by sand.

You had to know that the blow of wind in dessert was very vast. It could change the surface of desert each time. But this never happened after few years ago. I did not think it very much. I only thought that I had big job. We had to clean our house from the sand.
