Chapter 6 - Ahram

-Really?!

-(sound of river)

I ran towards the sound and realized that it was indeed a river. It looked clean, there were plants growing near the river and the most important thing was that it was huge (8 meters wide). There was also a tree in the middle.

I had not seen water for 66 days. 

The first thing I did was to go down and have a drink of water. Then I washed my face. Then I went into the water and just stood there, cooling off from the heat.

I stood like that for about eight minutes and got out of the water.

-It felt so good!

Night came 

In two months I learned how to build a fire. And sitting by the fire, I admired the sky. 

I looked at the tree in the middle of the river and saw a white silhouette. Carefully I swam over there and took it to the shore. It was a girl. She was still breathing, but she was unconscious. I also noticed there was a bag on a tree. When I got there, I picked up the bag and started swimming to the shore. It was good that the river was not deep (about 150 cm). When I started to swim I was hit by a log. It hit me on the head and I lost my balance and was carried away by the current.

In 1631, in September, I was found by the guards of this city "Ahram".
