She left me. She said she would be back. I will wait here for her. I know she will come back soon. My brother took her on his giant ship �?to find a new home and a better place. I was not allowed to go with them because there is a big war going on between South Vietnam and North Vietnam and I have to fight.

There!

I see her ship. She will be here shortly. I get everything I need to take with me. Some of my friends and family come too.

When I got back to the beach they were just docking.

I called out to my brother, "Welcome home!"

"We must leave now!" he called back.

I looked back at my home �?the place where I grew up. I walked slowly onto the ship and we sailed away �?to our new home.
