Day Eight..

Bibi and i are at Yusuf's place. Both of them were sleeping while his grandfather and i were watching football on his illegal satellite TV. As the commentators say tha Liverpool player went 'overboard', i ask Yusuf's grandfather what it meant. As he had once lived there, he explained to me that it meant to do something that is bold, wild, dangerous and daring. i try to think of a plan so that my family can stay. i wish to go to the city, get the government and tell them what they are doing to us. i stare at the television screen.
Suddenly, as the television picture goes fuzzy, a plan hits me like a bolt of lightning. i ask Yuuf's grandfather if the government would forgive mom and dad if i get very good at football, that i inspire them to start a national team, and do really weel in the World Cup. He tells me that things are very difficult for us as we are not liked by many other people. As a tear rolls down his cheek i realise how important my plan is. All i need to make it work now is Practice.
