Did you attend school while you were at her house?

I attended school for only one week.

Why did you stop?

One day, she gave me some doughnut to take to school but I was hungry, so I started eating it on the way. She met me eating the doughnut. That’s how she stopped me from going to school.

Is it true that she maltreated you?

Yes. One day, she just came back from work and asked me who ate the rice at home. I told her that I was the one and she started beating me.

What did she use to beat you?
