OUR 4th STORY:
The Bravest II
Eliyahu was standing in a crowded carriage. The train
rattled loudly as it made its way into the unknown. There were
no windows and a foul smell filled the carriage. A little boy sat
crouched in a corner, looking around with frightened eyes. He
had short brown hair and large brown eyes. The father spoke
quietly to his son. . Eliyahu approached him slowly.
“How old are you, little handsome man? Eliyahu said cheerfully.
The little boy held up his tiny hands, revealing six fingers.
“He a lil’ shy mah lil’ Yoel”, the father said warmly, patting his
son on the head. “Me name’s Saul, nd im is fa’er! Nd I’m a
rapper!! Saul said, shaking Eliyahus hand.
“Oh, this isn’t very fun for you then Yoel, going on such a boring
train?” he said kindly. The boy looked up at him and fixated his
eyes on Eliyahu’s forehead.
“No, I would like to play and I’m very hungry”, Yoel said shyly.
“What is it you have on your forehead?
Eliyahu looked at Yoel’s father for approval, who shook his head
sternly. He didn’t want Yoel to hear the story. Eliyahu was
surprised over his decision, but didn’t object. Instead he sat
down on the dirty floor, beside Yoel.
