odisco i am reallly struggling with this assignment you have set me

but for the story i gathered that:

You grandma gave you money before you went to school, to buy some things from the market. She wanted you to buy, goat, rice, slippers. when you returned home she asked you where is the remaining money from things you bought?

1. (i dont know the meaning of this phrase)
2. Didio dé mè? - what is my name

Please correct me if i am wrong? Thank you.

@misjulez. You got it in the wrong way, which means you misunderstood yourself. This how the story goes

ohhh I knew I wouldn't do well with this assignment! I'm upset, please show me the corrections. Thank you

Juliety mavó?
Here is the story.
My friend and i was coming from school some days ago, i saw two hundred naira on the road side. My picked the money. After that, my friend went to the market to buy the following items. Cat, rice, beans, slippers, and a bone of cow. He went home with the items, when his mother saw him, she was agape. She ask him " where did you u get money to buy these items" he shouldn't explain to his mother. He ran away from home.
