" My name is Omar, " says the boy.
I live near a big river.
My father is a man.
He works on a boat.
He takes people across the water.
He carries food and bags too.
I want to help my father.
I want to work with him.
My family is not rich.
We have a small home.
My mother makes our food.
My father is a strong man.
He works very hard each day.
I am still a small boy.
But I can learn to help.
My father says, " Come with me. "
We go to the boat now.
Today is a good day.
I feel so happy today.
