the sun was slowly rising.

They were poor, but they were happy.

They lived on a pension.

When I entered the room, my grandmother was sleeping. but I saw water dripping from the ceiling. I went inside and asked my brother, "Do we have umbrellas?" My brother brought me an umbrella from inside. "Why did you want an umbrella?" he asked me. I told him to come to my grandparents' room with me. He came with me and saw my sleeping grandparents. He put the umbrella between my grandmother and grandma and prevented the dripping water. Then I asked my brother if we should sleep, so we slept together. 

It opened up the bellies, but that didn't matter. They were happy to sleep with their mother. 

Maybe

 the roof of the house was a hole, but that didn't matter. That was real happiness.
