Can I say something now?

The work in the factory was long and strenuous. Leaving children alone at home was very dangerous. The only way to look after the child was to take him with us. Of course it was forbidden. Everyone was thinking where those children would be safe and many times hiding places were undiscovered. However, the Germans knew about Jewish actions. They caught some of those children. One of Mr Zbigniew's friend had a little boy - David, who all the time was with her in the factory. One day the Germans organized an assembly in the factory courtyard. David had to be hidden - everyone said. Mr Zieliński had a splendid idea. He put the child into a small box with fabric. Mother said to him that he can’t say anything until they come back. The assembly was very long - too long. They had to stay there until 6:00 pm - to the end of work. David’s mother was thrilled, but to rescue herself and her son she had to go home. The next day, at 5:00 am she and Mr Zbigniew ran to the factory to see what was going on with the boy. Fortunately he was alive but blue with cold, trembling and exhausted. His first words were: “Can I say something now?” .
