- There is always one thing Grandpere always said not to do. Don't fall asleep! Keep your eye on the sheep, look for your eagle if you must, but of all things, don't fall asleep!
- One day, I made that mistake.
- Quickly Men! Grab your muskets!
- Everyone! There is a bear outside the village!
- We have gotten rid of yet another bear, a huge danger to our village. However, the person we really have to thank is Jo for alerting us in the first place!
- (Applause)HERE HERE!
- I went into the woods to find my dog. I found him but I also found a man that would change my life.
- Who are you? What are you doing out in the woods?
- That doesn't matter. you know, Jo, the bear was just trying to protect her cub. I saw it all, you know. When you fell asleep, the shooting, your dog.
- The conversation went on for a little longer...
- We haven't met.
- You know, Jo, I need to ask something of you. Do not tell anyone about me. Why? I cannot say. Nevertheless, I am glad to have met you, Jo.
- Indeed, we haven't. Goodbye, Jo.
- A lot had happened that day. My mind was racing. But the bear incident was no longer my main concern, after spotting the strange trucks...
- We are here to guard the borders and are watching for escaping Jews. I suggest you comply with our orders if you know what's good for you!
- We grew to live among the Nazi soldiers. They became a normal thing to see. I even befriended the Nazi Corporal, yet, they did not know what secrets I had been keeping.
- You see, over the past few weeks, Benjamin - I had learned his name - revealed he was Jewish. He said that he and his stepmother were receiving and taking care of Jewish children. They were waiting for the right moment to sneak them over the mountains and out of France. He also had a daughter, Anya, who he had been separated from. He was waiting for Anya while getting the kids away from the Nazis.
- The Corporal, on the other hand was devastated by news of his daughter dead. She had died during the bombing of Berlin. He had begun to question himself and his duties as a Nazi.
- Meanwhile, more and more Jewish children were being taken in by Benjamin and his stepmother. My grandfather had found out and was trying to help them. (This was probably because he hated Germans, and he liked Benjamin's stepmother!) The children were getting sick and needed to get to Spain and fast.
- My father had just returned from one of the Nazi prison camps. He was not Jewish but was a prisoner of war. He soon learned of the Jewish children, and we came up with a plan to get them into Spain...
- Here was the plan: It was time to get the sheep up to the pastures up in the mountains. So, we decided dress the Jewish children as shepherds helping with the herding. Once we got the sheep there, we would sneak the children into Spain.
- We had nearly gotten the children into Spain when the Corporal came up to us while he was on patrol. Luckily, we had scrambled the Jews into the house.
- Go ahead, Corporal.
- Mind if me and my patrol fill up our canteens?
- Suddenly, the wind blew the door open! If those soldiers had seen them, we would have all been goners. The Corporal, however, shut the door when it opened!
- The patrol left, and I went home. My grandfather, father, and Benjamin escorted the kids to Spain. When they got home, they told me everyone had gotten to Spain. Except Benjamin and Lea, a little Jewish girl. They had been captured by the Nazis.
- As you wish.
- The next day...
- We are.
- Are you Jews?
- You are to be taken to the nearest train station and deported to a prison camp.
- Corporal, yesterday, when you came to the cabin, why didn't you say anything?
- There were multiple Jewish children in that house.
- Later, Benjamin and Lea had been sent away, and I had a chat with the Corporal.
- Jo, I've been questioning myself. Who are you? A Nazi Corporal. What do you do? Chase after run-away Jews. Why are they running? Well, they fear for their lives. Jo, the more lives unaffected in this war, the better.
- I could sense that there was something you didn't want me to see.
- Weeks later, the Germans were losing the war. They were pulling out of our village. I never saw the Corporal again, nor never found out what happened to him.
- The village was celebrating the Nazis departure. Everything was beginning to get back to normal.
- SOME TIME LATER...
- One day, a girl pulled up from the bus. Her name was Anya.
- Hundreds of French people risked their lives to help Jews escape from the hands of the Nazis.
