[Translated from Japanese]

TY: Mrs. Terao, Asano-san, you worked, didn't you?

AT: I worked at the place where they made necklaces.

TY: So, you went back to the same place?

AT: Uh-huh. I didn't go anywhere else. They asked me to come back to work for them, at the necklace place. Well, they said, "Why don't you come to earn some allowance?" so, I went to earn some extra cash. Sometimes I worked until noon, and sometimes I worked from noon until four o'clock. They let me do pretty much of whatever I wanted to do. Well, with my friends, even if I didn't earn from being there for eight hours, four hours of work did make a difference. Also, when I had worked there before, the boss gave us extra presents secretly. He said, "Don't talk nothing. Don't talk nothing." He said, "I put extra amount on your checks, so don't tell anybody," and he gave us extra.
