Introduction

My father hid in the hold for six days and nights. Twice he was nearly caught when the ship stopped to take on more cargo. But at last he heard a sailor say that the next port would be Cranberry. So he looked in his knapsack and took out an empty grain bag with a label saying Cranberry. He folded the top of the bag inside and put the rubber band around the top. It didn't look exactly like the other bags but it was the best he could do.
