The shanty had no door, no floor but the ground, and no windows.
It had no heat, no electricity, and no water.
Mtembo walked past the other shanties and the garbage strewn on the ground. When he saw his shanty, he shouted, “Hooray!”
His father had taken a piece of cardboard out of a wall. He used it to make a sort of door. In its place, he had put in a window! He must have found it in a dump!

Mtembo ran to his father and hugged him. His father smiled down at him and said, “Everyone needs some sunshine!”
