Abstract

Those days, in the early years of the 20th century, we suffered terrible poverty. The families were big—10 to 14 children—and we all had to work from early morning to late evening. When I was a kid, I had no time to play. After school, we were peeling shrimps, often till late in the evening. In the middle of the pile of shrimps was a bowl with water to wet our eyes to keep us awake.
