Addo aduo iron * How couldthis be Christmas time when we celebrate the birth of the Prince ofPeace, because since April we have not known any peace, only warand suffering. How could we celebrate as grandmother instructed usto do before she died. Those were the last words she spoke beforeshe died last night. As I continued to think aboutpast joyous Christmases and the present suffering, we heard thehorn of a car and not just one horn but several cars approachingour village. At first we thought they were cars full of men withmachine guns so we hid in the forest. To our surprise they were notand they did not have guns. They were just ordinary travelers. Itseemed the bridge over the river near our village had beendestroyed last April as the soldiers left our village. Since it wasalmost dusk and there were rumors that there were land mines on theroads, they did not want to take any chances. Their detour had ledthem straight to our village. When they saw us they wereshocked and horrified at the suffering and the devastation allaround us. Many of these travelers began to cry. They confirmedthat tonight was really Christmas Eve. All of them were on theirway to their villages to celebrate Christmas with family andfriends. Now circumstances had brought them to our village at thistime on this night before Christmas. They shared the little foodthey had with us. They even helped us to build a fire in the centerof the marketplace to keep us warm. In the middle of all this, mysister became ill and could not stand up. A short time after wereturned to our village mygrandmother told me that myoldest sister was expecting a baby. My sister had been in a stateof shock and speechless since we all escaped from thesoldiers. Yeah, when we celebrate the birth of Prince of peace, we have suffered so much suffering, this is what Christmas? Because from the beginning of April, we do not know the concept of peace, the only war and suffering. grandmother passed away before you tell us how to celebrate Christmas, this is the last night she said last words, how can we celebrate? When I was immersed in the past Christmas joy and suffering, we heard a car horn sound, not just a horn, but several vehicles at the same time to reach our village. At first we thought that these cars have machine guns, so we had to hide in the jungle. So we were surprised that they have no weapons. They are just ordinary tourists. Looks last April the soldiers leave when our village, not far from the village of bridges destroyed, it was already dark, one legend there are mines, they do not want to take the risk, the detour, thus directly to our village. When they see the whole village was badly damaged, people face veiled with extreme sorrow. they feel very amazed. Many visitors have even started to cry. They are convinced that tonight is Christmas Eve. Those who had wanted to return to their villages, and friends and family to celebrate Christmas, but because of the traffic, but they were on Christmas Eve to our village. They gave us the only some food, but also help us in the market Centre students made a fire, heating. This, my sister is ill, cannot stand up, we went back to my village, my grandmother told my sister may be happy, but we all get to flee from soldiers talons, sister shocked words say. ● Explain * Prince of Peace: peace Prince, here refers to the suffering of Jesus. *: pain * instruct: guidance, instruction, as the the nouns is the noun it also has manual means. * last words: the final trust * continue: go on, continue past and the present *: past and present. * horn: Horn calls, (cattle, sheep, etc.) angle. * approach: close, near, close to the. * at first: at first the. * machine gun: machine guns. * hid: hide past tense and past participle of. * to one's surprise: the ...
