Solution
Following are the differences between the houses where Mama live and the houses in the high-rise buildings:
| Houses in area where Mama lived | Houses in a high-rise building |
| Public toilets | Personal toilets for each family |
| No separate kitchen | Separate kitchens |
| No water taps in the house | Water taps in every house |
| No glass windows | Glass windows |
There were differences because Mama didn’t have money so that he could buy or build or rent a house in one of the houses in the high-rise buildings. These houses in the high-rise buildings are very costly and are equipped with all kinds of amenities, which poor people cannot afford.
