【Chapter 2 - Adam Goes To Darpur】

The next morning I got up very early.
It was dark and everyone was asleep.
But I was going to Darpur.
I washed and dressed carefully.

 

I put on my best clothes and I carried my best stick.
I put the money order carefully in my pocket and I said goodbye to Martha.

I walked 10 miles to the main road.
I sat down at the main road and ate my breakfast.
I waited for the bus.
I waited for two hours.

Then the bus came and I got up. 

It is a long way to Darpur. 

The bus takes three hours.
I arrived in Darpur and walked to the Post Office immediately.

I do not often go to Darpur. 

I only know the market, and one shop.
This is the shop of Rick.
I buy things for my farm from Rick.

There were a lot of people in the Post Office.
I asked about money orders.
A man showed me the queue.

There was a long line of people and I waited at the back. 

Finally it was my turn; I was at the front of the queue.
But the official did not serve me.

'Excuse me' I said. 'It's my turn. I'm next.'

'You are next? Old man, I'm very busy.' the official said. 

Look at my papers.
Look at all these people. 

I am very busy.
And you must wait.

So I waited.
Finally the official looked at me.

'What do you want?' he asked.
I gave him my money order. 

'This is my money order for 100 pounds,' I replied.
The official held out his hand.
'Identity card,' he said.
'Excuse me. I don't understand,' I replied.
'Your identity card,' the official said again. 

'Give me your identity card.'
