Once upon the time, there was a young man, called John
...
His father, in that time, was very sick he couldn’t
work for his family that’s what made and pushed his bigger son to drop out of
school and look for a job in order to look after his family and take place of his
father
...
John’s job
was not specified; that is , he was doing many things for his boss and his
family such as :gardener , car driver and taking children to school and also
taking his boss to the work
...
However, the money he used to earn could not make him live the
life he wanted, in other words, to live in full happiness
...
In addition, a part from the aforementioned problems, he had some
other problems ,concerning job matters , such as: he was not respected, his
boss and his family did not respect him because he was just a poor man except
Sarah and her mother
...
One day, the boss decided to travel to Canada for a mission and he asked
John to take him to the Airport
...

After they exceeded 5 kilometers, the car‘s engine suddenly stopped and John
didn’t know what to do, he was completely confused
...
John called a friend of him , a mechanic , and get the car
repaired
...
Here, the
boss was very nervous, mad and angry
...
When they arrived [hello daddy, what happened to you? why did you
come back ?are you ok ?did you forget something?]said his daughter Sarah
...

Still, her father did listen, he just kept saying to John bad words and put him in



a small room, where dogs and cats sleep ,then he spent two days in that dirty
place without sleeping because there were dogs barking him all the night
...

Then the boss said: [ ok now it s time explain to all you what did happen
exactly: he is the reason why I didn’t travel and I came back home he doesn’t
do his duty, he never checked up the car
...
All the family members were shaming and blaming John except
Sarah, she was worry about him, she said: [ that’s not fair! John is a human
being just like us, he should not be with animals ]
...
Then her father said:
[ Yes your’ right, but he deserve more than that and I want him to learn to do
his duty
...
if he had repaired the car, I would have been in Canada now ]

...
In that moment, John discovered also that Sarah is the only person
who felt and thought about him
...
]:[and what
?please tell me the truth]said John
...
Here, John felt pity and he did not want to cause any
problem to her with her father ,then he asked her to go back to the house said[
please just go now I do not want your father to see you with me here ,thank
you so much]
...
In that time, Sarah was just trying to calm,
make at ease and explain, nicely, to her sister what happened and where she
had been in that time
...
Then, she said :[ok to morrow, I m
gonna tell my father about unless you tell the truth ]
...
I am free I can do whatever I want without asking any one
here ,so now please get sleep and let me alone on my own
...
As a result, Sarah was very angry when she discovered that her
sister knows truth, then she hold her pillow and hit Hanah , so they were
fighting
...
Are you crazy ? did you lose your mind? this is not a time even
to talking! you are supposed to sleep now
...
Hanah was happy
when she heard her mother saying that she will tell their father but
...
so tell me the reason why yoy faought
with her? ]
...
her mother said
:[ok I will, so please hurry up tell me ] [I went to John and gave him some food
because I disagree with my father about what he did to John ]
...
In the day after, the boss let John to continue his work as
usual and he forgave him but still, some family members were blaming and
insulting shaming him except Sarah
...
Whenever she sees him, she was smiling to him and he was
always asking her if he need something
...
John agreed with her about her opinion , but he did not accepte one



thing ,he said : [yes your ‘right everybody told me that I am a good man;
however I disagree with about telling me not deserving this job , I can say I do
not but I have no choice
...
Suddenly , everything had changed in her personality, she
wished to become his wife and she knew that he will accept but she had a big
problem, it was her rich family members, they would not agree with her about
that
...
Abruptly, she saw him and run out to her room
then he followed her and catch her in her hear then she began yelling in a high
voice
...
then her mother said :[ what the hell is happening
in this home ]then the father answered her:[ I always think that I bring up my
daughters and give them good education but, unfortunately, I was wrong, I did
nothing ] And here everybody were shocked when they hear the father’s
speech :[ please just tell me what happen ]: the mother said ,then he answered
:[ I think that I married a woman who can take care of my house and watch her
daughters but I did not ,how could you let my daughter to talk with that poor
man John ] then Sarah decided to tell them the truth in order to alleviate the
stress of her father :[ please stop blaming my mother! That poor man John as
you always names him, whom I always talk with, is my be loved
...
[ ok congratulation, you are very great you
know how to choose a good man ]: Said Hanah , but Sarah was not satisfied
...
In the day, after Sarah’s parents went out to have a dinner in a
big restaurant, her father was thinking about her daughter and trying to solve
her problem then he got an idea and they begun discussing the problem {what
do you think about this problem of your daughter ?] :he said
...
[I
think I have an idea it might be the solution ]he said
...
[could you remember when you told me that your sister’s son
Adam want to marry Sarah and I refused ]he said
...
why ?,]she said

...
[oh this a great idea
...
[ok let’s go
...
In the day after, Sarah’s mother suggested
To gather and discuss with her children except her son because he was
young
...
That’s why he did not ask her he just called the boy and
the boy agreed with them about marriage
...

However she had a small problem John did not want to run away with her
because he did not believe what was happening and she gave him her words
to marry him
...
In that moment, her parents did not give up
...
In the day break, she handed in her clothes in her bag and sneaked
out to the John’s room then they left the house ,they took bus to other city

...
They tried to call him but he also switched off his mobile phone
...
After a few days, police men shared their photos in
the streets ,John and Sarah decided to travel to an other country but
unfortunately john had no passport and no money that’s why they sneaked
out to train station
...
After a few minutes, a man bought news paper

were wanted then he showed it to his family ,his child told his father that he
saw those two persons then his father told the police
...
But at the end police men
