The children went deeper into the wood
until they escaped a policeman. They didn’t know what they were going to do.
They decided to find the river and then walk down the
river. They walked and walked. They walked three days. They finally got to the
river. There they fished to have something to eat. The next few days they
walked down the river. They saw a mill on the river. They started running. The
mill was not abandoned. They slept there. Early in the morning, someone came in
the mill. He was very old man. The children were frightened.
They asked who he was.
He told them he working in this mill. He allowed them to stay there. The
children helped him. He gave them some food. When Mr. Edi saw how hungry the
children were, he took them home. He lived in a hut on a hill. His wife Manta
prepared them to eat. The children asked them if there was a village or town .
They said it was twenty kilometers away. The kids didn’t know what to do. Edi
and Manta offered them accommodation for as long as they needed it. They were
very happy. The next day, the kids and Eddie went hunting. They brought home
three rabbits and one duck.
