Saul nodded and spoke to his son. “Yoel, b’
brave nd f’llow meh!!!”
Eliyahu kicked the guard in his stomach, who fell to the
ground with a thud. Then he grabbed the fallen guard’s
gun and fired at the other guards..
“RUN!!” he bellowed at Yoel and Saul, starting towards
the fence in the distance.
Even though he ran as fast as he possible could
master, little Yoel couldn’t keep up with the full grown
men, and started falling behind. Saul was forced to carry
him towards the fence, which slowed them down further.
The guards were coming closer. They heard gunshots and
Eliyahu felt a bullet flying past him, barely missing his
head. All they had to do now was get over the fence.
“Save him, please! I can’t carry him over the
fence!” Saul said desperately.
Eliyahu took Yoel in his arms and began to climb the
fence, Saul right behind them. They were almost at the
top when the guards caught up with them, and they
heard a loud bang followed by a dull thud..´ Eliyahu
looked down and saw that the bullet had hit its target.
Saul was lying on the ground, blood running from a
wound in his head. With Yoel crying on his shoulder,
Eliyahu jumped over the fence and ran, ran, ran.
“Did I win the competition Elihauhu?”
