Blue bead by Noah Burke summary

In the story "the blue bead story" by Norah Burke, there is a girl named Sibia. She and her mom are going to get some paper grass to sell at the market. The mugger crocodile lies in the water along the path the women take to get to the paper grass. The women leave to go harvest the grass. On their way they passed a small campsite for graziers. When they cross the stream they make a lot of noise because it keeps the crocodiles away. It works this time.   They climb up the steep gnat and get to the grass. The women start to toil.   The women leave, and Sibia stays there on her own. Later Sibia leaves with her hayfork. When crossing the stream another woman from the village comes to the stream. She hops onto a rock in silence. She leans over with a gurrah and dips it into the stream. As it starts to fill it up. Then Sibia sees the head of a crocodile just a few feet away. But it’s too late, it all happened in a second. The crocodile lunges out of the water and grabs hold of the women's leg. She grabs onto the rock.  The crocodile pulls the women and she loses her grip. She ends up grabbing a log caught between two rocks. Sibia jumped into action, jumping from rock to rock. In all the convulsion going on crocodile slapped its tail. Water flew all over but Sibia didn't stop. She drove the hayfork into the saurian’s eye as hard as she could.  The mugger let go and disappeared.  Sibia dragged the women back to her campground, then Sibia goes back to get her pitch fork. .  Sibia is ecstatic. Beside it there is a blue bead.

Book report #1

Hi I'm jack and this is my book report.  The story I have been reading for the past couple of weeks is called "Voices of Winnipeg Holocaust Survivors".  It is edited by Belle Millo.  There isn't just one author in this story because it is hundreds of short stories writen by family members of holocaust survivors.  Some of the stories are writen by the survivors themselves.  This book is about people living in Winnipeg, who have been in the holocaust and survived.  It shows the hardships these people had to overcome.  It also shows how bad life was in the ghetto.  These are true stories in this book.  It is a sad book, but a very good one.  I chose this book to read because I like to read and learn about the holocaust.
