What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on a solar panel, a television set, 15 iron sheets and a cow. I have always dreamt of living a modern life which I have eventually achieved; I can watch TV whenever I want to see what is happening around the world, I light with a solar panel as opposed to kerosine and most importantly, I will soon be moving to my home since I have the building materials ready.
