What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I prepped my bought that had be broken by a hippopotamus. The boat had stayed in a poor condition and wrecked for long and this explained why our income had plummeted but since I mended it, I have started observing an increase in the flow of our income; we catch more fish, which we sell to earn a living.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very happy. I knew that my boat that had stayed wrecked for long would now resume operations to earn as more income.
