what to do when you are poor?

Khadeeja said why are we always poor?
Then she came to an idea," Mak ingat tak kat pasar malam, yang orang letak mangkuk kat depan tu nanti orang bagi duit. Mak buatlah macam tu."
I was shocked!
"Khadeeja tu untuk orang miskin!"
"Tapi kita pun miskin mak.,"
"No no...they are worse than us. Don't you ever had such an idea in your head, ok?"
"This call pride and dignity. We must have that. Islam don't like people who don't like to work and keep asking people for money."
"Ok mak....."
Tak tau la dia paham ke tak.
