The Year of Sharing

Summary;

Richard was living in the future. There weren’t no cars, no roads, no factories, no big towns, just little villages like this one. He has wanted to have a car and drive it. Everybody has theirs when they were twelve, and half of them don’t come back. They die. This is a goodbye a party. So, he was clever, fast and strong and he wasn’t going to die in this Year of Sharing. He was twelve years old and he had to do him year of sharing. There was a party for him. But he wouldn’t go to his house. He wasn’t happy. A doctor came and talked him. Then, doctor believes him because doctor knows, he is clever and strong. So, doctor gave him a special smell; he’ll smell like a baby in that animal family. Here’s the doctor coming. In a few minutes, I’ll be asleep. After the party he woke up in a jungle. In a few minutes, he remember. When he sat up, he saw my animal family. They were deer. He didn’t eat anything for a long time. They went into the jungle. He taught he is an animal too. They have four deer only one of which he talked and play with him. Then, when mother asked him, ’’Where were you?’’ he didn’t answer at first. But she went on asking and asking, and he felt sorry her. He was her baby, or she thinks he is. So, then he answered ‘’I am here’’ like baby. She’s sweet and a girl deer. He is falling asleep while he speak. He drank mother’s milk. He’s lying with baby next to mother and it’s very warm. He doesn’t feel lonely.
He lived through the worst two weeks of his life. He was ill and always getting little cuts on my body. Worst of all, he missed home, he wanted to be back in the village. He’s friends with baby and brother. He like both of them. Something happened! Father ran up and knocked him over with his antlers. He wants him to be quite. All the deer have stopped eating. Only father was moving. He saw it. It’s an animal coming through the trees, not slowly. It’s wolves. The family was moving away, going deeper into the forest. He’s not going to run. He’s not afraid. All the deer escaped but he stayed there and protect the deers from the wolves. All the deer didn’t waited for him. There was a big tree in front of him and in second the was at the top a fit. And here he is. The wolves sat under my tree for hours with a hungry look in their eyes. They left not long ago. All the deer made noise and called him. Then he found them. When they were jumping a stick from a tree hurt the baby’s leg. So, she couldn’t walk. The wolves came again. He stayed next to baby again and protect her. He and baby run as they could as. When they were sleeping the wolves came and killed them.
