Look what they have done, everything is demolished, 
there is nothing for us.

Think, that  it is better for us to leave.
You are right. We must go now.
Kids gather their things. They walk to road.
On the road kind farmer stops his wagons.
Farmer drives kids to the town at the sea.
He drops kids to harbor.
Kids hide into a rowboat, which delivers supplies to a big sail ship. 
Kids sneak into big ship.
They start to wait the departure.
"All aboard !?" shouts Captain.
"All aboard." crowd on the deck responds.

Ship leaves the harbor.
The voyage begins.

Kids are discovered.
"Who are you ?" Captain asks.
"Bandits demolished our village,
and killed our parents."
girl answers.

Captain takes kids to see the council.

"Our homes were burned, too." man says.
"Couldn't stay, have to find a new place" another man continues.
"May we come with you ?" girl asks.
The Family Council Men talk quietly.
Kids wait their decision nervously.
"What if they feed us to lions ?" kid asks.
"We run to errands" another answers.
"We fight" third says.

"No need for you to do so"
nice woman says.
"We don't have kids" husband continues.
"You are welcomed to live with us." 
And so they did.
