Save him, please! I can’t carry him over this
fence!, Saul said with a worried voice. Eliyahu started
climbing with Yoel in his arms. Saul came after. Yoel heard
a loud bang and turned his head around to see the men
in uniforms running towards the fence. He looked down
on the ground and saw his father lying still, with blood
running from his head. He started crying but he let
Eliyahu take him over the fence. Then they ran.
Eliyahu, was I brave enough?, Yoel asked. Did I win the
competition?
Eliyahu looked down at the little boy who had
no one left in his life. His father was dead. Maybe she had
been burned in the gas chamber. Of course the little boy
was brave. Braver than Eliyahu had ever been. And
Eliyahu remembered what he had promised Saul.
Yes, yes! Congratulations!, Eliyahu said with a
smile on his face. You are the bravest, Yoel! Yoel smiled
widely and jumped into Eliyahu’s arms. He knew he was
safe. And he was the bravest person in the world. He
knew his father was proud of him.
