After a while they started to look for one of the white men they checked every where and he was stranded with the other boys and he will also die as slowly as the other boys will. Two days after they left those boys on that island there was a huge gust of wind that was not like the other winds that blow because it was able to penetrate to where they kept us and it was very cold and chilling and after some minutes we stopped and they told all of us to get down and when we got down we saw some white tiny things falling from the sky and some boys were unsuccessfully trying to avoid them (the white stuff) while others were trying to get it to see what it was . most of the boys were saying that it is painted rain while the others that didn't concur didn't have any word to describe it. The other people that joined us were also talking but we couldn't understand them . Then Austin came to tell me that we gave reached our final destination (GREAT BRITAIN) and he gave me the worst news of my life ,he said that we were to be sold to other white men to work for them as slaves . I felt very hot and sad even with the breeze and the white stuff that was also very cold I lalter learnt that it is called "SNOW"
but he told me that he will make sure that I will be given to a good person that will take good care of me. I felt some kind of relief but I still felt sober. Then after some boys had been sold he came back with a white man and his wife and he told me that the man will be the person I will be staying with .He did some introduction and told me I will be with him until he doesn't need me again and he will have to sell me to another person but the man told him that he will first send me to school to learn how to read and write and Austin told me and told the man thank you
and I told Austin that he has been spared from the effects of the curse but he said that he knew that he won't die because the gods of our land visited him and he begged for forgiveness and they forgave him . I was marvelled , I never knew that they visited people. Then the man that I was sold to (Mr.Julius) then took me to his house with his wife , when we got to his house he introduced me to his children they were twins boy and girl Henry and Henrietta they were my age and they were my first British friends and we were very close even when I went to another mans house they came to visit some times and we went out together . After the summer of the twelfth year, Mr.Julius said my services were no longer needed in his house so he decided to sell me to another man named Mr.carter.
