The Adventure of David Skywalker I am David Skywalker, a 15 years old boy. I lived with my grandparents in the village of Little Root Town. My grandparents were very poor, they’re just farmers but they work very hard to earn money for me. My parents died when I was only 9 months. Since then my grandparents take the responsibility of raising me up. Although they give me everything I can do but I always jealous and I want more than that. I was very young and I don’t know much about life so I have no idea what life is. I was really hate my grandparents. I was very young and I didn’t think carefully at that time. What I wanted to do was to go to the city or somewhere very far and start a new life without my grandparents care. In my mind, I really want to go to the City of Wealthy where lots of people live in money and have a wonderful life. I start to design a plan in my head in which I will go at midnight, everybody was at sleep at that time and the dark will hide me out of any curious eyes. But I think again, I must have a reason for my leaving. My grandparents must do something that can make me really angry and I will start leaving. I tried to be as bad as I can and make my grandparents really angry. They started to shout at me and that was exactly what I am waiting for, an argument. That night, while my grandparents were at sleep, I woke up and start to pack up my things: a few clothes, my parents picture. Then I start to leave, a strange feeling pass me, the feeling of I can do whatever I want and live wherever I want is a new and excited things to me. I spent the whole night walking on the countryside path, when I arrived at the City of Wealthy, it was morning and the city was very crowded and people walking on the street, cars and buses and trains, I’ve been in the city of Wealthy when I was very small. After 14 years, the face of the city has changed a lot. At that time, I realized I have no money, no food and no job, what should I do in the whole new city, without anyone I know? Then I told to myself: you have to steel t yourself, you walked for the whole night and then just come back to them and say I am sorry! They don’t like your appearance in their house remember? Find a job to do. I start to realized how hard it is for me to survive in this city. I need to find a job, then I looked at myself, a boy who lived in his grandparents care all the time, never do anything strong and tired, what job can I find? First I start with a fast food restaurant, the manager look at me and he kicked me out of his restaurant with saying: a pathetic child like you only find a place at orphanage or trash bin. I walked around the city all day but heard the same thing like the manager of that restaurant. So I do what they say, I go to the orphanage, the manager of the orphanage, Ms. Wendy looked at me with surprise eyes and after a long time looking, she gave me a place in the orphanage. She showed me my room, it was really bright and I can’t believe in my eyes I have an air conditioner. She told me to take a bath in hot water and I did, it was really comfortable. Then I had my supper, full of meat, chicken and all of those precious food falling from the sky, I cannot believe my eyes. But in my mind, I have lots of questions: why it is only me and the manager in the orphanage? Why she’s doing all the good things to me, a totally stranger to her? When I asked her where’s another children like me, her face changed in a second and she said that this orphanage was new and not much people know about this. I went to sleep in a good mood and very happy. I forgot about my grandparents, they must be worried and tried to find me, but my dignity is so big and I hate them so I don’t care about them anymore. The next morning I woke up and found a note on my desk said that she have to go out for the whole day and told me to stay inside my room. While reading the note, I felt very odd, why she told me to stay in my room is there any dangerous are waiting in the house or things that illegal and she don’t want me to see? I decided to have a short trip around the house and its rooms. While searching at the east of the house, suddenly I heard a cry of a girl. I remembered about all the story of ghost grandpa told me when I was small. I started to walk back to my room. But then, I really want to explore the mystery in the house. I walked in front of that room and shout - Anybody’s in there? The cry stop and a girl voice replied: - Yes …. Who are you? - I was a new boy, Ms. Wendy gave me a place to live safe here. The girl voice seems sad: - So you are another victim of that women? I was really surprise by this: - Who do you call women? Ms. Wendy is very kind and generous - That’s what she pretend to do outside with all children who come to this orphanage. First, she gave us food made us think that she is very generous and kind women, after a week or so, she throw us to dark rooms like this without any food and water and she’s only let us go if we agree to work for her as a beggar on the streets. I was trapped here for nearly 3 weeks or so. You have to run away from this orphanage while you still have a chance. I said: - I will try to rescue, I cannot left you here in that women hand. - Don’t care about me, I will be fine, save yourself while you can. I went back to my room, still shocked about that conversation with the girl. I know I need a plan to get outside and tell the police about the poor girl in the house. In the evening, Ms. Wendy came back and we had dinner together, she asked me what I am doing for the whole day. I said I just sleeping because I was very tired of walking for the whole night and day. She seems to believe me. At midnight, while she’s sleeping, I sneak out of my room, went to her room to find the big chain of keys in her handbag. I saw her put them inside the handbag while I was walking passed her room. I took the keys out and start to walk to the east of the house. Luckily the moon was very bright that night so I can see everything clearly. I stopped at the door of the poor girl and whisper: - Hey.. are you still there? - Yes.. who’s that? - Is me, the boy. My name’s David, I come to rescue you. - Why you saved me? - I don’t know but we must hurry. I open the door and we ran to the front door of the house. We made a very stupid mistake, we let the door of the girl’s room open and while we opening the front gate, a wind blow and push door crash and make a loud noise that wake Ms. Wendy. She walked to the front gate and then saw it open and we were opening the gate. She was like a cat that lost it fish, she shout and run toward us. Luckily, I open the gate soon enough and we run through the dark street as fast as we can with her running behind. Finally, I found a dark alley and I pull the girl in to the alley to hide until morning. We can’t sleep because we think she will find us hiding in the alley. In the morning, we came to a police station and told the police officer about the orphanage. The police believe us and they design a plan that Ms. Wendy can’t hide or talk anything about her crime. We walked back to the orphanage with the polices follow from behind, hiding in normal people clothes. Ms. Wendy was very angry to see us again, she put me and the girl into one of her dark room in the basement where we found out 50 children was trapped there. The police give us small button that work like a transmitter, I push the button and above us, the police received the alert signal, they invade into Ms. Wendy house and arrest her, forced her to led them to the children and rescue all the children out of that terrible house. All children are bout my age or smaller and they really want to have a good life. After all, I know the girl name was Jade and she’s same age with me. The police thanks us a lot of saving all the poor children life and arrested a dangerous criminal. They ask me where we live and surprisingly Jade live near my house in the countryside. So they ask the head of City of Wealthy for giving us support in study and money for my grandparents and Jade’s family. The city council agree and I went back to my hometown. I went to my house and find my grandparents were so sad and they cried for me a lot, I went to my house with a feeling of guilty, I started to cry and say sorry to my grandparents, begging them to forgive me of what’ve done to them. They seems sympathize and they forgive me. I told them about my adventure to City of Wealthy and what I’ve done and suffered from and the prize that the city council offer for us, they was really happy and said that I am changed a lot. After all, I realized that family is the most important and that makes me love my grandparents more and more.
