A
COMMAND
08-10
I was taking a rest. This was a holiday. But my father had a job at
the country side. When I was getting sleepy, I was surprised by someone. He was
government officer. He gave me a letter from the government. Then, he went
away.
This letter was the third letter in this month from the government.
On the letter, the government commanded me to make other invention. They also
did it to other inventor because the museum in the city got a disaster. Seven
robbers robbed all things in the museum.
It meant, I had to have an invention. I upset because my last
invention only in my dream. But the government said that I was the inventor.
Baka bakashi. If I did not have new invention, they would take their money that
had given to me. I entered into big trouble unwillingly. I had to find a way to
release from this trouble. Thought hard made me sick.
I had decided it. With this way, I tried to take off myself from
this trouble. I asked my father to give me his permission because I would have
a long journey to East World. I was very happy when he gave it. After I got my
last wage from my big boss, I prepared my supply. Then I took a rest.
On the next day, I got up early. After breakfast, I would go soon.
My father was very sad. But this was my way to take off myself from this
trouble. Not so long I walked, I arrived at the shore. But there were no ship.
