Until arrived at a lading. A boy 12 year old was making a rod of small branches. Seeing the small army came, the boy stood up and removed his hat to salute. The boy was bright-faced and smiling broadly.
"Hello, son, what are you doing here?" Asked the captain. "Are not you supposed to evacuate with your family? Where is your family? "
"My father fought, and he has not come back," he said. '' My mother and my sister had fled with an uncle Benito to San Severino. Had I been a little bigger, I would have fought with my father. I wanted to be a soldier and defend our country. Dear father said I was too small. So I stay here. My job is to keep the house, and if possible provide aid to the soldiers. Oh, if I may prepare food? Fathers have accumulated a lot of corn. I can present it to our soldiers. "
Captain smiled at the narrative of the little boy. "Keep your corn boy! The soldiers and the horses are already full. You and your family will require a corn-corn it when you are reunited, "said the captain. "Oh yes son. Whether lately you see Austrian soldiers through here? "
"No! No soldiers in three days! "He said confidently.
"That's impossible!" Thought the captain in the liver. "Soldier Austria can only escape through the village."
Then the captain dismounted and asked for permission to investigate the state of the village of the boy's attic. But it turns out the attic of the house are too short. Only the captain can see most villages. The only way to get to see the entire village is with meanjat tall tree in front of the boy. But if the captain or one of its soldiers to rise, the enemy can certainly see where they are, and is certainly going to shoot him.
The boy know what he thinks the captain, so he said: "I could go up to the tree to spy!"
"Do you dare? It was very dangerous, "said the captain.
"I'm a good climber," he said "I can get on top of the tree in an instant. And the enemy will certainly not aware of it. Moreover, my eyes sharp, so I can give information quickly. "
"So what can I give as a gift for your courage?" Asked the captain.
"I'm walkin asking for anything," he replied "I love being able to do something for the country."
Captain touched by his words. She patted the boy's shoulder. "Good! I hand over this task to you. But be careful! "Said the captain.
"Ready captain!" He said happily.
Deftly, the boy hugged the tree trunk and began to climb swiftly. An instant later the boy was in the treetops. Her legs were covered in leaves, but his body protruding above the treetops and unprotected.
"Look ahead, son!" Teiak captain. "What do you see?"
"I saw two horsemen were to come here," he shouted.
"What is the distance from here?" Asked the captain.
"About half a mile," he said.
"Good. Now look at your right hand, son! What do you see? "Asked the captain.
"Oh near the cemetery, I saw something shiny. Weapons such as bayonets. But I can not see the person. Maybe they are hiding in the wheat fields, "he said.
Suddenly heard the whistle of bullets in the air, the captain realized that the enemy has to know that they are under surveillance.
"You have to go down, son!" He said anxiously. "They've seen you!"
"I'm not afraid!" Said the boy. "Did the captain want to know what I saw on my left?"
"What?" Asked the captain.
Back came flying bullets. This time almost grazed the boy's body.
"Oh, they membidikku, but not hit," cried the boy.
"For God's sake come down boy! Forget what's on your left. Just go down! "Shouted the captain.
"Yes I will go down," he said. "But the pack on my left, near the church, there is no aaaaaaaahhh ... ..!"
Again a bullet whizzing through the air. This time the right of the lungs boys. And he fell right in front of the captain. Quickly, the captain grabbed the small body was already covered in blood.
"Son, forgive me!" The captain said ruefully.
The boy smiled and shook his head. "Goodbye father ... mother ... I'll see you in heaven!" He whispered weakly. Then the head was drooping. The boy was his last breath.
Captain and his men could only stare emotion. "Really though he is still young, but the soul patriotnya outstanding. He is a hero of the nation. We must bury him properly! "The captain said mournfully.
