Luke and Charbel have retold the story for you.
The Little Refugee
The little refugee is about a family of fourteen people all squashed in a tiny three room house in Vietnam. But one day a war started, so forty people got on a fishing boat and began a journey to Australia.
On the way to Australia they saw a ship and they bust out with excitement but when the boat came closer they noticed that they were actually pirates.The pirates threatened them for they precious belongings. They also tried to throw a baby overboard. However, the refugees all stood up to fight them. So they let the boy go back to his mother. One pirate felt sorry for them so he threw a bottle of water to them.
They kept on sailing, until they found a German cargo ship. They burst with enjoyment because they were safe.
When they got to Australia they were walking around with worn clothes. So a nun gave them boys clothes and girls clothes but they were both boys. They were very poor and people stole their prize possession which was a sewing machine.
After a while the two boys went to school and made friends. A new kid came to their school and nobody wanted to be his friend. So when he was eating lunch Anh walked up to him and they became friends.
They had a special end of year assembly where they were going to announce the class captains for the next year. Ah invited his mum and dad. They were announcing the class captains.... “ANH DO” they said. His mum and dad started to clap and cheer for their son.
How would you feel if you had to leave your home and travel to a new country like Anh and his family?
Great retell of the story. I loved it!
