Mustafa,Selim and Safiye packed everything they needed and after a while came out.The envoy asked Mustafa:
-Are you done packing or not?
-We have just finished.By the way,I want to ask you about our bakery.What will happen to it?
-Absolutely nothing.Leave it as it is.Just pack several kinds of breads.Selim,go there and bring the breads here.The trip towards the capital of the province of Iraq will take us approximately 1 week.
-There are 10 breads left.I don't deem,that this amount will be sufficient for so many people.
-It won't be enough for the entire journey,but at least we won't be hungry for about 3 days.Go now,Selim!
-I will be here soon.Sister,please give me 2 bags in order to pack the breads.
-Take them,brother!-Safiye gave the bags to Selim and smiled at him.
Selim also smiled at her and went to the bakery.He opened the bags and packed the breads.Very soon,he returned.
-Everything is ready,sir.Shall we go now?
-Of course,Selim.3 carriages are waiting for all of us at the end of this neighborhood.They are near this house.Look over there!
Selim spotted 3 large brown carriages and 2 horses bound in front of each of these vehicles.All of these horses were white and quite tall.As soon as he saw these carriages and horses,he remembered how he was abducted.That very carriage that his kidnappers used was brown and the horses were white and tall too.He shivered for a while.The envoy spotted his weird behavior and asked him:
-What's the matter,gorgeous fellow?Why were you shivering?
-I have just remembered how I was kidnapped.My abductors had this kind of carriage.Their horses were white too.
-Don't fret,I'm not striving to abduct neither you nor these boys behind me.Now,get on the first carriage with me and your family.Others will get on the second and the third carriages.I'm especially curious about you.I will be asking you questions and you will answer me.This way,the time will pass and you won't be bored on the way towards the city my master is.
-Okay,sir.I will be relating you everything you ask me.
The envoy made the boys got on the second and the third carriages.Afterwards,he locked the door with keys and went to Selim and his family.The envoy got on first,then Mustafa,and at last Selim and Safiye.
After sitting down on the seats,the envoy looked at Selim and asked him:
-Well,I am all ears.Tell me your entire story.I prefer to listen to it entirely,without any questions.
Selim told him everything in about an hour and half.The envoy told him to take out 2 breads and split it equally.Selim did as he was told and everyone inside the carriage ate 2 big slices of Shoti.The horses were riding swiftly and several hours passed.It was late night.Selim felt extremely sleepy and put his head on Safiye's left shoulder. In a few seconds,he fell asleep and dreamed something that he would never imagine.
