My Religion

So as I went looking around other places. I decided to sit down for a second when I saw my compass fly in the ocean. I was petrified. I had to get it! It was too late... it sinked to the bottom. I sat down and started thinking about religion. I decided it was time I chose a religion. I sat down and tryied to figure this out. I decided I coudntr be Jew because Yohannes told me so. I dont really wanna be christan.. because their god is a women named Mary... Not that I have something against women. Jpohannes had told me something about anothother guy named David he said the god of... Its been a while since he told me.... Its coming back to me now the god who ``He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he ledeth me beside the still waters``. That`s it! That`s the god I would chose. Then.. I decided to start praying `` God I pray that THEY wont catch me. Then I can do something in return AMEN``. I dont reakky know why I said Amen cause usually just catholics say amen. If I didnt say Amen then god woundt know when im done my prayer. I felt stronger, and felt a point of living again. I thouht a god would be much better then a compass, althought it woukd be nice to have both right? Anyways..... I countinued walking I could tell by the sun which way I was going. I wanted to end up in north-west. It had been a very good day. For me at least... I decided to take a little rest in the bushes when I heard someone. A men saying `` I have lost my spectacles!`` I was hessitant but.. I took a risk and went to the men and told him `` I can help you find your spectaclec mister`` He said ``well thank-you young men`` I found his spectacles about 2 minutes into the search. I went to the men and gave hm his spectacled and started walking away then the men said ``WAIT! You must take a reward for your troubles`` I replied quickly `` NO``. I really wanted to but.. I wanted the feeling of doing something just to be.. NICE. He said `` I will introduce you to my wife then``. I decided I guess so... He brought me to his car and introduceed me to his wife. She wasnt beautiful like the girls in Italy. But.... She was nice. She said `You must take something for your troubles`` I replied `` NO THANK-YOU``. They kept talking in french.. thinking I coudnt understand them. They offered me a Sandwich as they call it. It was two pieces of bread stuffed with all sorts of things in it. I said ``Yes please`` I ate it.. It was delicious. They kept asking me questions. It ws really irretiable. Finally I said `` I have to go thank-you for everything`` before I left the lady said `` Befire you leave I would like to see you smile`` I replied `` I. I cant smiile`` then I ran off I heard them calling after me but I kept on like I didnt hear them. After I ran for a while I went to find a sleeping place on the sea slope. I drifted to sleep once I found a spot. A few days later I went in a town called Naples. I found a miror. I picked it up slowly... Looked at myself for the first time. I saw.... me. I was quite plain looking very messy curly lonmg hair. My eyes thought... I didnt get what ws the big deal about my eyes. They looked.. Normal to me. I really didnt get what was the big deal. I decided to go back to my sleepig place. For the next few days I kept looking in my miror and practised smiling. I didnt look like the other peoples smiles thought. It was like.. like my smile wasnt pure. On my deffense you coundnt blame me.. I was raised in the worst place on earth. A concentration camp. It brings back horrible memories just thinking of it. I get shivers everywhere too. I countinued walking northwards. I kept thinking to myself that I would stay out for a long while. Plus whats 1 boy from millions of people in the camp. I cant get my hopes up thought.The days grew colder and colder at night. One day I saw this couple and their car... they were arguing. I went closer as I listened I heard they had no petrol left in their car. I went up to them and said " I can gelp you guys" the men seemed interested but the women... I heard said to to men " HE nothing but an old begger" that made my heart sink a little. I had to prove my point. I said " I can go into town and get you some petrol" they finally agreed to it. As I was about to leave I asked the kind men if he could hold my bundle. Before he had time to answer I ran off. I came back with petrol. I said bye, grabbed my bundle and ran off.... I heard them calling after me but I ignored them. That day I decided to go to a church just to loook. I was sitting there when I felt a sha^rp pain in my stomach someone... punched me. He kept going at it. I just stood there. He said something about... stealing. He said `` common boy fight`` I replied ``NO then ill be as stupid and yuseless as you are`I ran off. In the morning I was hungry so I dug in my bundle I went all the way to the bottom. When there it was... 2000 lires with a note in hand writing. I was astonished. The people last night must of snuck it in there. I didnt know wh to spend my money. I decided not to be greedy with it. Johannes always said " Being greedy gets you know where". I decided I was going to use my money for things I neddded like bread. The next day.. I decided that I was only going to buy bread. Then I got to the store and saw a pair of scissors and a comb. I decide I would buy that too. I got home and combed my hair back. I must admit I looked pretty nice with my hair back! I was wanting to try cheese so I tried it. 1 word to describe everything: YUMMMY! I decided I should start heading north so... I walked and walked... I found a little river hidden in bushes. I decided to take a quick bath and wash my clothes. That I did. I saw 3 kids playing. 2 of them were little they were both boys. 1 was a girl who was about 10 years old. She was beautiful her hair swang in the wind like a flower. They were going to play some kind of game in a little shed where they tied her up. I decided it was a perfect time to take a nap. I was sleeping bare. I woke up to the smell of smoke... I got up looked and the little shed was burning down the one the little girl was in. OH NO! I put on m a piece of my clothing on my head wrapped in around tight and went to the shed. Right before I went in I asked the god not to help me I wanted to be pround of somwething on my own. I ran in to the blazzing fire. It was so hot in there. I saw the girl she was tied to the chair. I took my little pocket knife and cut her out. I covered her mouth and said get up. She fainted. I put her on my shoulders as I was getting ready to run throught the fire I took a chance ran throught the fire. We landed outside we were alivve. I looked at the girl she had fire on a stran of her hai I took my hands and got the fire out. I just layed there. I then noticed all her family was there they ran to her and took her. They asked if I was ok when I saw the gvuy at the churchb how was punching me. He said " ohh.... i am sorry! " I replied " Not forgivern"! They took me to their house. I was nervous because I never seen the inside of a house! Once we got there We went inside and it was incredibly beautiful. We ate supper it was delicious. Over those couple of days we did a lot. Well... I learned a lot. I learned that there`s a round thing called a globe and Maria showed me how to get everywhere. The point is I learned A LOT. The kids refused tio take baths I dont understand why? Baths are awesome! I took one I never felt so clean. I dont understand kids! One night I coudnt sleep so I went downstairs. I overheard the mom and dad talking about me. I put my ear to the door trying to be so ever silent! I heard the mom say I have to go because I was teaching their kids too much bad things. Yes there bad but... it`s reality! They said I brought Carlo down too much! I decided I had to leave this place. Althought how much it ached thinkiong about leaving Maria I HAD TOO. I went to get Maria and told her ``Come in the room with me Maria!`` She said ``OK`` we talked and talked I told her I had to leave she was really sad. Before I left she asked `` David??? Can u hold me one last time?`` I replied `` YES MARIA`` We hugged she said ``Good-bye David`` I said `` Good-Bye Maria``. I went in to a twon I met a women who liked painting she invited me to her house she told me a whole bunch. I sleeept there for a few nights. I left after a few days because she told me a story about a boy and son who got killed but I knew better they were sent to a concentartion camp. It sounded like my story..... It was my mom. She gave me the name of the women ``Mom``. had to find her... she was the only thing left!
