Polish Child Story

 The year is 1944. The ship sails through the rough storm. The waves crash into the side of the ship. A massive wave crashed into the ship. A shock wave rattled through the ship making cutlery go flying. In the depth of the ship Alexander was getting thrown around his bed. Alexander got thrown onto the ground. He woke up and ran into where his parents were staying. “Mum I'm scared”, Alexander whimpered, his mum replied, “It’s ok sweetie, We’ll arrive in New Zealand soon, Go back to bed”. 

Alexander woke up to the gentle swaying of the ship. The storm had passed and everything was back to how it was before. Alexander woke his family to go get breakfast. In the dining room there were crew members sweeping up smashed glass. Alexander went and grabbed some toast and jam. He started eating when an announcement came through the speakers. “This is Captain Kane, We will be arriving in New Zealand in a few hours”. 


Alexander was sitting in the main lounge reading the comics when another announcement came over the intercom. “We have arrived at our destination and hope you enjoy your stay in New Zealand,''. 

Alexander walked off the boat into the unknown. He saw a police officer walk past and he got scared and shrank back towards the other side of the road. Alexander ran to his mum saying

“There are police walking around, I'm scared”.

“It's ok there, good police, not like the polish ones”.


Alexander and his family started walking trying to find a place to stay. After half an hour of walking, Alexander's mum saw a motel. They went inside to see if there were any spare rooms. The person working there said there was a spare room. They walked around for a few minutes until they found it. 


Alexander's mum told him that she wants 5 minutes in peace. Alexander walked away and came back a few minutes later to see his mum crying quietly. “Mum what's wrong”.

“It's your dad, I miss him”. 

“It's ok mum he will be ok up in the skies.


4 years later Alexander was happily going to school and living in a moderate size house on the edge of a lake. Alexander forgot all about Poland.
