James Alto

Once there was a man called James Alto who had a wife called Alice Alto and two kids. Their names were Jonathan and Jane. One day James said “Let’s go to the jewelry shop and have a look.”

Then suddenly a man came in with a letter about World War Two. It read, “Dear James Alto. You have been selected by the Government to go to War. I’m sorry you have to leave but it’s a matter of life or death.” 

Then James decided to go to Egypt. It was the day to pack for war. Then it was time to go on the boat. Then he went to say goodbye to his family and a man said, “All aboard the boat of war!” He got on the boat and before he left he bought some food for his family. James felt very sad because he was leaving his family and he might not see them again.
