Chapter 24 The Third World

Jonas and Gabriel have sledded into a town, The Third World! Jonas gets up and picks up Gabe and walks toward the people of the town. They are around a Christmas tree that is as tall as the tallest house. The town notices Gabe and Jonas walking, shivering, cold, and takes them into the closest house. They are accepting of the new community members. They are exited to have newcomers.

Now that Jonas and Gabe are warm, Jonas tells them why they wandered into town. The community doesn’t care that they ran from there home. Jonas learns the names of some of the community members. There names are Bob, Christen, Pat, and Ann. Jonas tells Bob, Christen, Pat, and Ann that they have not eaten for days. The new friends scramble to get food for them both. Now that Jonas and Gabe have eaten Bob asks how old Jonas and Gabe are and when they were born.

Because of the fact that Jonas doesn’t know when either of them were born Jonas tells Bob there ages. Jonas now must explain to Bob why he doesn’t know when they were born. So jonas tells Bob about the fact that the community he was born in celebrates everyones birthday at the same time, Jonas also takes this time to explain some of the other things about his old community.

Bob is flabbergasted at all of the things that are different.

The next thing Jonas tells Bob is the fact that his community has not experienced snow, hunger, sun, war, and love in a very long time.

Skipping ahead a few months, It is now time to hunt. Jonas is going to learn to hunt, along with making fire. Jonas must be able to make fire and be able to hit something with a arrow accurately before he can go with the hunting group.

Now in April Jonas is finally able to get a fire going with three other people. He has also passed the test of hitting moving animals with a bow and arrow. He may now go with the hunting group.

Gabe is now two yrs. Old. He is talking up a storm and is holding understandable conversations. He is walking without help.

In Jonas’s first month of hunting he hit and killed three animals, the first was a taller animal with a small not really soft tail it also had antlers. The second animal was very tall and black Jonas was told that it was a bear. The third animal was very short, small, fuzzy, and was very soft with a tail.

All of these things have been caught on a little device, that Jonas was told was a camera. He has a copy of the photos for himself. He is getting pictures of Gabe’s progress to have so he can show Gabe when he gets older.

Chapter 27 The First full Christmas and Winter

Chapter 27 The first full Christmas and Winter

Jonas and Gabe, Gabe especially loves the snow but were startled at first. There first experience that is rememberable riding a sled, and getting gifts from the community. Jonas got his very own video/camcorder. He also got a hover-board , still a new technology in this time. It also has a seat for Gabe. Gabe got a little trike. Gabe was so exited.

Winter was awesome besides the fact that every twenty-five to thirty days you had to get on the roof and shovel snow. And the fact that half of the community got snowed in for three days one time. It was a blast otherwise for Gabe and Jonas.

Chapter 28 Last Minute Packing

Chapter 28 Last Minute Packing

Jonas is almost ready to go on the journey, the bad thing is is he must hide his bags and other items so that the community won’t know he is leaving until he is gone. Jonas is not going to tell Gabe because of the fact that he doesn't know what a secret is yet and therefor not be able to keep it a secret. That would be a bad thing to have happen. This is because if the town doesn’t want Jonas and Gabe to leave then they could keep them from going home.

In the other sense if the city people found out and were perfectly fine with them leaving, they might offer transport.

The houses are three stories, not including the basement. They are all different colors. Some are red, some green, some blue, and some are all of the colors of the rainbow!! Jonas decides that he must get some pictures of these houses to show his home community!

The inside of the houses were even more elaborate. They have beautiful stained oak wood trim and staircases. The kitchen was designed to look like a wood framed house, where all of the beams are shown off, not hidden. The kitchen also has 24th century appliances. All stainless copper and brass! It is amassing.

The dinner ware is as shiny as the polished copper, it is stainless silver, without adding the silvery taste to food! The tables and countertops are made of unchipable marble, the tables also have hand carved marble legs!
