The morning sunlight escaped through vacant lots inn a cloudy sky scape . Sunbeams fell to the ground and splattered a splash of bright light across the vineyard where a young girl was working .
She stood alone among the grapevines thinking about the war being fought in nearby countries . The silence was shattered by the sound of a train rolling along the tracks that ran adjacent to where she stood .
When the train came into view she noticed swastikas were painted on every carriage . She tried to hide from the eyes of German guards who were perched on lookout around the train .
She watched in surprise as a young man jumped from one of the carriages on the train . He rolled away into the bushes and avoided being seen by anyone except the young girl who made her way over to the place where he had landed .
The man stood up and smiled .
"Hello . "
He said softly .
"Hello "
k
The reply came .
"Are you going to turn me in to the Germans then ?"
He said .
The young girl replied ,
"Why would I want to do that . After all aren't we on the same side ?"
The young man said .
"I hope so . I don't know who to trust anymore , I was separated from my parents and I don't know if I'll ever see my parents again ."
He looked into her eyes with an innocence that captured her heart . Tears rolled down his face and she soon could see he presented no threat to her .
"Hello , my name is Angie . This is my parents property you're on ."
She said .
He replied .
It must be at least twenty five acres ."
"What is your name?"
She asked .
"My name is Hyman and I'm a Jew .The train I jumped from was escorting many prisoners to a German concentration camp . Lucky for me I saw a chance and jumped from the train that was heading fro Germany ."
"You lok as if you could use a feed ."
"I haven't eaten for over a week .Tell me could I speak with your parents Angie ?"
She thought for a moment and then motioned with her finger for him to follow her .
She took Hyman through the vineyard to the driveway of a large villa that was cradled by a formal garden decorated with statues on pathways and lined with hedges and shrubs all shaped in triangular symmetry to a water fountain near the front door .
Angie went inside and told her parents that a ma at the door wanted to speak to them .Angie followed her parents where she listened to the conversation between them .
Each time Hyman spoke , Angie's face lit up .
]Her parents recognised that their daughter was fond of the visitor .
Hyman explained the fortunate circumstance that had brought him to their door . He seemed to have this magnetic attraction on them .Mr and Mrs Latino invited him in for dinner .
After dinner Hyman offered his services fior freed around the property .
It was his lucky day all right as the Latinos needed a man around the place and so the offer was accepted .
]He was given a bed to sleep in and before the day was discarded by the night Hyman fell to the floor and prayed hard in thankfulness for his rescue .
Dawn seemed arrive very quick and Hyman was soon out working around the property . Fences were in need of repair and some of the farming equipment around the place needed some attention made his way to the
.
In a short time Hyman's strength and skills were being appreciated .
Angie brought food and some drink to Hyman each day . Hyman worked hard until dusk and there were huge changes on the property .
One day out of the blue a group of German soldiers arrived and took occupancy of the .
Angie informed Hyman to pretend to be one of the Latino family .He was urged not to show any fear of the Germans . The Germans suspected nothing and accepted Hyman as one of the Latinos .
The Germans were happy and the Latinos fed them well .
At times the German soldiers shot people and buried them in shallow grave around on the property . There were many who were put to the test and punished for not following orders . . Accused traitors were brought to the Latinos and shot without question . The executions served as a reminder of the war .
There was no room for complacency and no time to explain why punishment beatings took pace of the property .
Hyman was protected by the Latino family and worked away on the property . until the war was over .
During this time Angie and Hyman had fallen in love . Their relationship had to be kept under wraps but when the Germans left the Latinos property the truth was told .
After a brief engagement a wedding day was planned .
The Latino family were proud of Hyman and welcomed him into the family .
The End
