Chapter 7 to Chapter 8

As days and weeks passed I started to think that the officer´s visit was only a dream. Suddenly, one evening I heard a sound in the wall next to my bed. I thought was only one dream, too!. Sometime later I heard the noise again, so, I realized , “ It must be a prisoner trying to escape”. I thought for a little bit to made a tool to carve and help me!. Might there is still hope!, I said. I broke the water pot and use one of the sharp pieces, when I made a hole half a meter wide, something stopped me, it was a great piece of wood. So, I whisper resigned, “Oh, my God, I just want to die. I have lost all hope”. At that moment a voice under earth said, “Who is the man who can talk at the same time about God and about hopelessness?” I got up into my knees and beg, “In the name of god speak again!”. The voice, ask me back, “Who are you?” so, I explained him what happened to me. He said to talk again until next day, he just told me that he was Number 27.The next morning, some stones fell down into the opening of the hole, and the man appears into my room. He was a small men with white hair, and a long beard. Unfortunately my new friend worked hard carving in a wrong direction to escape. He also was happy to see me, looks like a good men!.He asked, “Do you know what is outside those walls?”. So, we looked at the third side of the room and climbed toward a high up window in the wall. It faces soldier guards are there day and night. It is not possible to escape!, he said. Finally, he told me his name was Faria and why he was so calm. So, I arrived for first time to Faria´s room. I asked him to teach me all what he knows as very wise man he was, in that way, time would spend more quickly for both. I learned history of world, English language, new ideas and many other things. Even thought, my friend had a terrible illness that I realized after an attack someday and the hidden antidote to stopped it. So, it was on control, so far.
