MEMORY #3 – STEP BY STEP


“Can you feel it? That’s it. That’s the taste of freedom.  I am now homeless with a sack full of potatoes. What a beautiful feeling,” Vincent said to himself at the border of his village.

Vincent didn’t know where to go, he felt very desperate because he spent eighteen years of his life only in this village. He has never been so far from home.

Vincent looked back to the sign with the name of his village, took a deep breath and said to himself, “Ok Vincent, you can do that, only ten steps. Only ten steps and you will be exactly fifteen steps far from your home. Be brave, be strong!”

Vincent did ten steps,” Ok, that’s a good start, I did it! I made it! I can be proud of myself, just few more steps.”

Vincent did another nine steps,” I can’t do that, I am so week.  I can still go back home. Home is the best. No! I can do that! I am not a loser, I can’t go back home when I’m so far now. Courage, Vincent, courage!”

After ten days Vincent was almost one hundred steps far from home.
