Nek Saffiah: On Sibling Conflicts

Youth to Elder

Translation

How are you doing, Nek Saffiah?

My name is Azzahra

I am 10 years old.

I love playing with my family. When you have free time, you like to play with your family, right?

At home, my older brother and younger sibling always fight with me. In the end, someone always cries.

Did you use to fight with your siblings?


Thank you

Azzahra



Elder to Youth

Translation

I'm doing well, Azzahra,


I also like to play with my family, for example congkak or batu seremban.

I am the youngest in my family, I always get bullied by my older brother. But I still love my brother no matter what, and so should you, okay!
