My first mask is Green
I use it when I help my little brother
Then I feel proud

My second mask is red
I use it when I’m mad
Then I wish I was happy

My third mask is Yellow
I use it when I’m with cows or horses
Then I hope I will get my own horse

My fourth mask is silver
I use it when I’m around my little brothers
Then I dream they will live a better life then me
