TRANSCRIPT

'Ya, we had a sponsor, but it was not a very good one We were there for 7 months and then he said that he had no money we have to stay for less money or we have to leave. Her husband said ‘We never do that for less money because you promise us and you give us security we get that money.' So my husband said ‘We do what we do and maybe I can find another farmer.' He said ‘You can never get another one because it was the wintertime.' Well, he said ‘we see.' But for sure we get another farmer, all the way to Norwood, and for more money! That was a surprise for him! We stayed the longest. We were there 7 months and the longest before was 6 months. He just promise them and then he let them go before the winter. And he had nice help for the summer.'
