hello. my name is amelia, and i live on an island in the caribbean. i am seven years old. some time ago my poor parents handed me over to a rich family living in the city. today, like every day, i got up at five o’clock in the morning. i fetched water from a nearby well. it was very difficult to balance the heavy jug on my head, but i made it—otherwise, i would have been beaten badly. then i prepared breakfast and served it to the family. i was a little late in serving breakfast, so the master beat me with a leather strap. afterward, i walked the family’s five-year-old son to school. next, i helped prepare and serve the family’s lunch. between mealtimes, i had to buy food in the market, run errands, tend the charcoal fire, sweep the yard, wash clothes and dishes, and clean the kitchen. i also washed my lady’s feet. today she was very upset about something, and she slapped me in anger. i hope that tomorrow she feels better. i was given leftovers to eat—at least they were better than the cornmeal i ate yesterday. my clothes are ragged, and i have no shoes. my owners have never allowed me to bathe in the water i bring to the family. last night i slept outside; sometimes they let me sleep inside on the floor. too bad i could not write this myself. i am not allowed to go to school. have a nice day. amelia.
