A
long time ago when Pierre was boy there was a big battle between the
English and the French.
One
day, while Pierre was having dinner with his mother and father, in
their small French cottage, there was a big, loud knock on the tall
wooden door. Pierre’s father, who was a big man with a long grey
beard, went to answer the door. At the door there was a tall, fat
man with a grey beard. “I have come to tell you that you have been
ordered to go into battle against the English.” Said the man with
the long grey beard.
After
a few days of getting ready his father said his last goodbyes before
leaving for England on a big ship.
Years
had passed since Pierre's father had left and Pierre had grown up.
Then, one day Pierre decided that he would go searching for his
father in England.
Soon,
Pierre had raised enough money to be able to pay for his fare for
the ship. "Mother I have raised enough to go to England in
search of father." Pierre told his mother. His mother was very
sad at first but she knew that Pierre missed his father so much.
In
a few days Pierre was ready to go. "Goodbye mother" Pierre
said sadly. "Don't worry about me I will be fine and I will be
back before you know it." "Goodbye!" Pierre's mother
shouted before heading home.
Within
a few weeks Pierre arrived in England, after a year of searching
Pierre found his father. his father looked so different to what
Pierre could remember from years ago.
Pierre
and his father decided to go back to Pierre's mother and their home
in France. Pierre's mother was so happy to see her husband again and
her son that she didn't know what to say when she saw them
again.
