I wasn’t of course going to yes from the beginning but after a while you know, and all my life no money. I wanted to do something to go out of my country. I was tired, of never have money, I wanted to do something for myself of course.
Erm once, her daughter’s going to wear something and that wasn’t right and she asked me to iron so it was right. And I used to do ironing in my room and I put the iron on and erm going to iron and she came over and I said look my son has phoned and I need to have some money to send home. And she said, have you done the ironing? And I said the iron isn’t hot enough yet, because I’ve just put the iron on. And she took the iron and put it on my hand and said what do you think? Is it hot or not yet?
And I burnt my hand and she said now you can see its hot now go and iron the clothes.
