Capitolo 23
For many days more than we have been kept in the jail, ill and broken with
suffering. The second night, as I placed sleepless and desperate on the
strip of dirty matting that has served as read, I felt a scratch-scratch
to the fissure grated of a window, and to the moment a slender baton was
inserted in the cell. I went on and the shaken ones; of the one to the other
end was containing him/it firm. And then, a sound that whispers curious started
comes from the end of the baton. I put down my ear, and taken the voice
of one of the men from our village. He had taken a pole of long bamboo,
perforated the joints, and it walked to on all four on back part an old closing of wall rout under
my window. From he/she wants to say of this primitive telephone we spoke until us
challenged. I assured that us he/she anchors we were bearing, and it exhorted him on no
you explain to abdicate the arm to the Turkish authorities--not even if us
it had to make the last sacrifice.
Finally, when you/he/she was found that torture and imprisonment would not do
we produce our secret, the Turks resorted to the ending test--the test
what we could not withstand. They announced that on a certain date a
number of our young girls would be brought away and you/he/she would be given above to the
official, to be kept until the arm you/they were disclosed. We knew that them
it was able of to perform this threat; we precisely knew what wanted to say.
There was anybody alternative. The people of our village didn't have anything to do
but it digs on the arm made treasure of and, with broken hearts, gives them ended to
the authorities.
And so the terrible news was brought us a morning that we was
free. Personally, I felt very happier in the day that I have been put in the jail
what when I was released. I had often wondered as our people you/they had been
able to bear the framework and the life to flat head of the Spanish investigation; but
when my turn and my comrades it came for torture, me understood that the same
spirit that has helped our ancestors was also working in us.
