I Am David Page #3

David is thrust into the free world for the first time as he travels across Europe. His spiritual voyage of discovery, where David slowly loses his instinctive mistrust of humanity and begins to smile, share, trust and ultimately, love, addresses the cruelties, politics, and suffering of warfare while celebrating the unbreakable spirit of a child.

and kids, too.

Get lost.

David!

Mother...

If you'd ever listen to me,

this kind of thing wouldn't happen.

Look, just calm down.

We can't be that far from a gas station.

I'm not going to go hiking off

when we don't know where we're going.

I don't even have the right shose on.

Excuse me, young man?

We need some help.

Do you know if there's a gas station

around here?

The kid's not gonna speak English.

Use your Italian.

Right.

My wine shop needs steak.

My wine shop needs steak.

No?

My wine shop needs steak?

I saw a place back there where

they do that.

Oh, you speak English. Great.

Would you go get us some gas?

I'll give you a tip if you do.

Yes, sir.

Sir...

...l'd like to buy some things.

Hey!

What are you doing on my property?

Think you're gonna steal something?

Come on and fight me!

What's this? Something else you stole?

-Give me that, that's mine.

-Oh, yeah? I think it's mine now.

Go ahead and run, little piggy!

And don't ever come back!

Johannes...

...I want to escape.

You said that if we weren't dead,

we could change things.

But how do we know

they're going to let us live?

We don't.

Then we should leave while we still can.

-They'd kill us if we tried.

-They're going to kill us anyway.

We should do whatever

we can to stay alive.

That's what you said.

You're scared.

Yes.

I am.

I don't want to be scared anymore,

Johannes.

Neither do I.

Garlo! Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Don't breathe!

I love you, David.

Are you awake?

I was watching you.

I wanted to make sure

you were all right.

How long have I been asleep?

Since yesterday.

You must have been tired.

When the doctor came,

you didn't even waske up.

Mother put you under the covers.

Where's my bundle?

What bundle?

Nothing. I was just confused.

You got burned...

...but not very bad.

I got burned, too. See?

Mine weren't bad, either,

but Cecha and Angelo are in trouble.

Papa made them go the bed

without supper...

...because they weren't supposed

to be playing with fire.

What's your name?

-David.

-I'm Maria.

Thank you for saving me, David.

Papa said I could have died.

You could have, too.

You're very brave.

Did I just smile at you?

Yes. How come?

I don't know.

Is it because you think I look funny?

No.

Then myabe you love me.

You're awake.

Maria, did you wake him up?

I told you not to.

His name is David, Mama,

and he woke up on his own.

Didn't you?

Go downstairs and get ready for lunch.

David will be down in a minute.

Yes, Mama.

You saved my Maria.

For this...

...I owe you my life.

Are you feeling okay?

We have to get hold of your parents now

that you're awake.

They must be very worried.

We've been asking around,
