…

When I was seven still I was working coal job

My cousin sister – she told me about stitching

She said – let me to show you how to stitch

Then you can do the stitching work like me

So I did learn to sow and to stitch from cousin

And cousin she told her boss, look at her stitch

Boss he liked my stitching and so I got new job

Then I left coal mine – and stitched soccer balls

I became good at sowing and stitching soccer balls

So when I was eight years old then boss said to me

Now is time for you to work inside carpet factory

Now is time for you to learn to do carpet weaving
