Hamisi needs a new school uniform.
His dad takes him to the market.
Hamisi sees a boy wearing a beautiful shirt.
"That is a very fine shirt," thinks Hamisi.
"Dad, I wish I had a shirt like the one that boy has," says Hamisi.
"Look, there are those beautiful shirts," says Hamisi. "Dad, please buy one for me."
"Hamisi, I have to buy your uniform," says dad.
"I do not have enough money for that shirt," says dad.
Hamisi's dad buys the uniform. He is surprised when he gets the change.
He has enough money left over to buy a shirt for Hamisi!
It is Hamisi's lucky day!
Which shirt will he choose?
