The next day

The next day, it was a raining day. When it’s time to meet Shmuel, the rain stopped so Bruno managed to meet Shmuel.  Shmuel prepared a set of striped pyjmas.  As Bruno changed into the pyjamas, Bruno left his clothes behind the fence. Shmuel lead him into the fence. There were people sitting in group, staring at the floor looking sad. All them were skinny and were wearing striped pyjamas. Later on, Bruno and Shmuel decided to look Shmuel’s father. They went all around to find evidence like note, etc that were left behind by his father.  They took one and a half hour looking for it. However, they didn’t manage to find any evidence. Bruno saw the sky was getting dark and they decided to go home. Suddenly, there was a loud whistle. All the people gathered around. And Bruno found out that they were going to do marches. He wanted to leave but Shmuel held on to him. The whistle blew again and they started to march slowly. As they were marching, Bruno asked Shmuel if the marching is very long because he wanted to go home. Shmuel told him that those that went for marching never come back. And it started to pour heavily again. As they march on, there was no more rain coming down anymore because they were all piling into a long room. Shmuel gathered himself very close to Bruno. And then the room went very dark and somehow, despite the chaos that followed. Bruno found out that he was holding Shmuel’s hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let it go.
