My name is Kerula. I am 10 years old and I live in Cairo, Egypt. It's the capital of my country and is the largest city in all of Africa. Egypt is very dry and hot. Most of it is covered with desert, so most of our people live near the Nile River.

Kids go to primary school from ages 6-12. I learn cooking, sewing and embroidery(刺绣). Only half of the kids in primary school go to general school. (I hope to go there.) In the first two years we learn reading, writing and math. In the third year of school we learn science and Quran(古兰经).

Some popular games are marbles(弹子游戏) and hide and seek. The most popular sport in my country is soccer. To have fun, we also visit markets to purchase things and to see our friends.

I get around by taking the train. Sometimes when my family goes on vacation we take a boat, plane, or a camel. I like to visit the Great Pyramids. Near the pyramids there stands the Sphinx(狮身人面像).

I remember and miss those conversations so much. He was always trying to protect my whole family; sometimes I think we mistook him.
