War Hero Comic Story

When Betzalel hears the sailor promise Papa to help their family, he can barely contain his happiness. He can't believe they'll sail in style like wealthy people! Does this mean that they won't be forced
to convert or make believe they are practicing Christians?
If everything works out as planned, they also won't have to travel forever to find a safe place to live after Portugal betrayed its Jews. But this sounded too good to be true. Who would have believed that they would procure places on a ship when Papa had no money? A simple fisherman with a salary to match. Gonzalez's voice broke into his musings. "The captain is okay with letting you aboard the ship in exchange for work. But if any rich passengers wish to sail,
even at the last moment, you will have to give up your places."
Betzalel wondered which jobs the captain would give them. Would they have to
scrub the bunks clean? Suddenly he froze. Was that Chisdai on the deck listening in to the plan? Betzalel was shaken, but before he could warn Papa, Chisdai scrambled down the rope ladder and said, "Don't tell on me! I promise I won't say a word!"
Could he trust his cousin to keep quiet? Will they have to stay behind if he reveals their plan? This is a story of dread and bravery, of triumph in the face of treason. It's a lesson in emunah, and you will be a part of it.
