She wakes up very early in the morning before the sunrise.
She goes to fetch water for the elders to use when they wake up.
She goes to the garden so she can be early to prepare breakfast.
Then she takes the goats out to graze.
She leaves them there and comes home to prepare supper for the family.
Later in the evening, she fetches the goats and then serves supper.
