Old Man

An old man, who is 76 years old, sat by the side of road. Trucks, carts and people were crossing a pontoon bridge. Soldiers were helping the mule-drawn carts to cross the bridge. The old man sat without moving. He was too tired to go any further. A soldier saw the old man was still there. He asked the old man where he came from. "From Saint Carlos," the old man said, and smiles because that was his native town. The old man explained he had been taking care of animals and left them because of artillery. He had no family and was without politics. He concerned about his animals. He stated that the cat would be alright but the others would not be alright. The soldier told the old man to go because the place was not good place to stop. An old man, who is 76 years old, sat by the side of road. Trucks, carts and people were crossing a pontoon bridge.
