I’m still alive!. I’ve been travelling throw France. I’m in the eighth platoon of infantry of the British Army, the high captain call us, the platoon of Miner street.
We’re in Somme, near the oriental border of France with the French Army fighting against the German Army.
It’s ten o`clock p.m., I’m with Tom and Albert, I share the tent with them. They’re sleeping now, but I’m thinking of you. I remembered the first time that I saw you in the baker’s shop. So much time since then... you were very pretty, five minutes then I would know that in the future you would marry with me. Two days before started the war, I asked you with a engadged ring. We married in the old church near your home with other four couples, all of the mans were being sent ahead (to the war). A new law for the goverment, helped for the families that had mans in the Army with a salary for the wifes and his sons.
I couldn’t write before because there’s no time to lose in war. The other day was very hard, we missed twenty three soldiers in the last riot. It’s frustrating to think, that we can’t stop with this slaughter. We had eaten all the food, and we didn’t have provisions. So we needed to sort out this problem, some soldiers were died of starvation. Two Days later, we saw a new shipment of food. For the godness sake!!
Three days ago, after the end of the battle against the German Army, the captain deal out a bottle of ron, we drank a few couples, the alcohol heat our stomachs, but one hour after I had a hard headche, and I felt sleep... Suddenly, I heard a high sound and the floor was shaking, they were attacking us. Bombs, shotguns.... I woke up in a second, took my gun and I went out to watch what was happening... the captain was shouting, we didn’t have bullets and nobody wanted to asked for them, so I went to the tent and asked to the high command:
-Sir, we don’t have bullets for our shotguns since two days day ago. How can we fight?.
The captain looked at my, in this moment I felt that I wanted that the earth ate me, finally he heated me in my mouth and a thoot was thrown. My mouth was full of blood, but anyway, I was conscious. Not bad at all!
Two hours later we were in a trench shooted with our guns hand grenades and all the material, one hour later, we were in silence, nobody were moving. We thought, well, we had won the battle. The captain came with us in his horse, and he said that I platoon of soldiers had been fleeing out the battle field. They had violated the honor code. Ten minutes later, we saw that platoon, the captain shouted:
-shooted them!!!.
The platoon were scared, they didn’t know what was happening, and I thought:
-Why I must shoot to my compatriots, they’re like me, British!! This captain is crazy!.
I pointed the sight of my shootgun to my captain and shooted tree times, the last one in the middle of his brain. He felt down to his horse and he was dead. I said:
- Nobody knows what has happen here!
All the platoons acclaimed me.
I hope the end of the war is coming up. Anyways, nobody knows what is happen in the world, and why God want this to us.
I miss you so much, and I supose that you and your familly finds you well.
I was walking in front of the central bank, when sudently I saw a young man going out of the bank, he was shouting furiously:"go away, go away!" He had a gun in his right hand, and a bag with money in the other. After him, a fat old policeman, with his blue jacket went out. He was running after the evil thief. The thief couldn´t run with the bag, so he took an old bike to go faster.
When the evil thief started to bike, I ran after him. I was running as fast as I could, but he biked faster than me with the old bike. When I was running I fell down, and the thief escaped with the money. Then the old policeman arrived immediately and asked me how was the thief like, I said he is young, he has long curly hair, he´s about 1.80 metres tall, he´s wearing a long green coat, and a brown cowboy hat.
The next day the police started to investigate about the bank robbery, they went to his house to arrest him, but he wasn´t there. The police took some clues from the dirty house, to find more information about the mysterious man like some type of DNA or somethig like that.
A week later, the police called me to say they had caught the thief, and to say thanks for helping them. They gave me a gold medal, congratulating me for the hard work I did.
I´m going to speak about a children book from 0 – 12 months called Baby Bright.
The bookisveryattractivetobabiesby theircolorsanddifferentmaterials itismade. In the cover appear a big butterfly in the middle of the country. The butterfly is smiling and in her wings are brilliant pieces of paper of different touch than the rest. Flowers, grass and a very big sun are the other drawings in the cover.
The first page is the butterfly singing to the baby who is looking the flowers. The butterfly is flying around the flowers. The wayshe wantto teachis thecircle. In the second page she want to teach the zig zag though the trees with a form like triangle.
The following is a loop in the sky. Theloopiscutin thecarton,as before, thezigzagandcircles.
The next is a spiral around the sunflower and a rose.
The last one appear the butterfly touching the baby´s nose. The right sideofthepageisabutton thatif youpresssoundsof laughterof achild.
So thebooktakes into account thecolor, touch, soundandwordstostimulatebaby'ssenses.
Book corner are rounded to save damage.
Also great Ormond street hospital children´s charity receives a 2.5% royalty from every copy sold.
I think is agoodbooktoteachdifferentthingstobabies whocanstimulatesight, touch, hearing…
