It was originally published as part of READ's New Heightscore reading program. The story follows a child named Lebo who discovers that all of their clothes – including a skirt, jeans, T-shirt, jersey, and raincoat – have become too small. Lebo informs their mother, who suggests that the outgrown garments can be given to Nomsa. This narrative illustrates a common childhood experience of growth and the practical matter of clothing obsolescence, highlighting themes of sharing and resourcefulness within a family context.
