Why did the jailer not believe the boy?
Answers
Answer:
Thump! Thump! Thump! The pounding on the door roused Emilian from his sleep. The young boy rolled over and looked out his open window. He saw by the soft moonlight that it was still the middle of the night. Who could be knocking on the door at this hour. Thump! Thump! Thump! Whoever it was sounded very urgent. Emilian sat up and swung his feet over the side of the bed.
He didn’t bother putting his sandals on. He wanted to get to the door before the knocking woke his mother or any of his five younger siblings. The youngest, a boy of less than one year, had only just started sleeping all the way through the night. The luxury of a full night’s sleep was something that his mother had experienced all too infrequently since Emilian had been born thirteen years ago.
