Four-year-old [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) woke up early every morning to help her [Mama](7MRKTCLF) at the market. They didn’t have much, but together, they always found a way to make things work.

At the market, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) loved to help arrange the fruits and vegetables. She would stack the oranges into pyramids with a big smile on her face.

Sometimes, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) would shout, 'Fresh fruits! Sweet bananas! Come and try!' Her voice rang across the market and made customers stop and smile.

One busy afternoon, [Mama](7MRKTCLF) and [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) noticed a new customer. It was [Mr. Henry](WF7PFXYS), the kind baker. He bought some veggies and whispered something to [Mama](7MRKTCLF) before leaving with a big bag of food.

'[Mama](7MRKTCLF), what did [Mr. Henry](WF7PFXYS) say?' [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) asked. [Mama](7MRKTCLF) smiled and patted her cheek. 'He said we are doing great,' she replied, her eyes shimmering with hope.

As the day went on, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) helped sort heaps of tomatoes, polish apples, and hand out change to customers. Helping [Mama](7MRKTCLF) made her feel important.

Even though the work was hard, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) and [Mama](7MRKTCLF) would laugh and play little games. 'How many red peppers can you count?' [Mama](7MRKTCLF) would ask. 'Ten!' [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) would shout, giggling.

At the end of the day, they packed up the unsold food to take home. 'We’ll save enough soon, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ),' [Mama](7MRKTCLF) said. [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) nodded, squeezing her [Mama](7MRKTCLF)’s hand tightly.

That night, as [Mama](7MRKTCLF) counted their earnings at the table, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) whispered, 'One day, we will have everything we dream of.' [Mama](7MRKTCLF) kissed her forehead and said, 'We already have the most important thing—each other.'

The next morning, [Maya](CW9LXNMZ) woke up with the sun, ready for another day at the market. Her [Mama](7MRKTCLF)’s words stayed in her heart: as long as they had each other, they could do anything.
