"I expect my life to change significantly in the next six months because I shall be having my own cow. Currently, we do not have a cow as a family.

As a result, I will attain more crops for sale and consumption. Eventually, I will open a shop before the end of this year to attract more income. Consequently, I will be enjoying a better life that is marked with increased income."
