Bruno Tells A Reasonable Lie

Posted by: Best Sellers Class / Category:

One day while Bruno was talking to his sister in his bedroom; which was something that they didn't usually did, he said to her that he wished to be with Shmuel, but Gretel didn't really heard the last part of the sentence and she asked him who he wished he was with. Since Bruno knew that he wasn't allowed to get near the fence he decided to not tell everyone about his new friend he had. He told Gretel that she heard wrong and that he didn't said anything, but later he tells her that it's his imaginary friend that he wanted to be with. Bruno tells her how he looks like and how he plays with him everyday.
One day later while Bruno was reading a book in the living room, Kotler (soldier) walked in and was asking Bruno about what the book was about. Kotler and Bruno's mother went into his father's office to talk in 'privacy'. When Bruno walked into the kitchen he saw Shmuel polishing the silverware for the surprised party his mom was having, Bruno was excited to have Shmuel in his house, but he wondered why was he doing that, Bruno opened the fridge and tried to reach for something to eat, and when he did that Shmuel looked at him and Bruno offered a piece of chicken right away, at this time Shmuel started crying, he really wanted to eat it, but he was afraid that Kotler was coming back and he wasn't supposed to eat anything or even talk to anyone. When Kotler came back Shmuel had finished the piece of chicken Bruno had gave him, Bruno didn't understood what was happening, he didn't see anything wrong with talking with his new friend or giving him food. Kotler sent Bruno back to the living room and took Shmuel back to the camp. Since that day Bruno kept going back to look for Shmuel, but somehow he was never there. After a week he saw him again and he had a black eye.
