Inanimate Alice
Episode 5: Egypt
My name is Alice.
I am 14 years old.
>>
We fled from Russia and
washed up here in Egypt.
Ming says that the
soldiers from Russia that
were chasing us, would
never find us here.
>>
Dad loves his work so he hardly comes home. He’s gods disciple and spreads the news of the
Lord, Jesus.
Dad loves to tell me Psalms and I like listening to them. My favourite is Psalm 139, it makes me fell secure, as if God is always with
me.
>>
Mum is a skillful artist. She
paints prestigious artwork and
takes care and pride in what she
does.
Ming always lets me try but it
just looks like a scribble that a 3
year old has done!
>>
We live in a small ugly house in Cairo right next
to the Red Sea.
>>
It’s the first time I’ve
been at school!
It’s so good not to have
to listen to Ming talk for
hours at a time.
There are so many kids
my age. I finally feel like
I’m going to fit in.
>>
Today we are going to the see the exquisite Phoenix
and pyramids.
Dad told me too bring my player because he said
the car ride would be long!
So I opened my player to play some
games.Hello
Alice!
This is the game that
I made.
Incorrect
Try Again!
Correct!
>>
Then I looked at
Brad…
Dad how much longer? “
A while!” Maybe I
should call my friend
Emilia, see if she’s seen the
Phoenix?
Calling Emilia....
Cairo,
Egypt
“Hello, It’s Emilia”
Emilia
“Hello Emilia, it’s me Alice.”
Emilia
“What’s up Alice?”
Emilia
“Have you seen the pyramids and Phoenixes’? ”
Emilia
“Yeah it was so fun! Why?”
Emilia
“ Oh I’m going today! ”
Emilia
“Just when you go on the camels, make sure
you keep your parents close by.”
Emilia
“Why?”
Emilia
“OH nothing just a rumour.”
Emilia
“Well we have just pulled up! Thank you for
the notice! Bye
Emilia
“Your welcome! Bye”
Emilia
We started walking towards
the camel farm. (There was
lots of poo though!)
We jumped out of the car and
enjoyed the fantastic view! I
felt as though God was right
beside me!
>>
We were placed onto the camels and with
Emilia’s instructions I was all ready! I
checked my shoulder every five minutes, well I
tried but the views were too beautiful!
>>
OH that was so good! I hopped off my
camel called Turtle, searching faces for my
parents…
>>
>>
Mum, Dad?
Where are they?
Have you seen my parents?
What do I do now?
Everyone’s going to bed in the tents now.
I’m scared and lonely but I need to find
them.
Wait what's that?...
>>
There’s a flashing light coming from the
west of the desert.
It looks like another camp! Maybe Mum
and Dad are there?
>>
>>
I’ve been walking for a few minutes and
the camp doesn’t look as close as I had
planned!
I am starting to freeze and I’m getting quite
tired. I want to stop but all I here is God
pushing me through telling me “Almost
there!”
It almost seems that the camp is moving
further and further away! It might just be
my, be my, be…
>>
Where am I?
Why am I lying in the middle of nowhere?
>>
Oh right I must have passed out last night trying to walk to the other camp.
Which is west…
Wait! I must have over slept! It looks like they’ve packed up camp without me!
>>
I don’t know what to do!
I’m all alone!
Wait I’m not alone! I have God right by my
side.
I know God will help me get out of the
desert and back to my parents.
>>
The wind blew in the right direction.
I followed God’s whispers through the slight
gush.
Over on top of the highest sand dune was…
>>
Everyone lined up in a neat row on top of
camels.
I quickly prayed to God and ran off after
them.
>>
Searching faces through the line of people.
Eventually at the end of the row of camels
were Mum and Dad.
But it wasn’t me who found the way, it was
God, He guided me!
>>
We all sat their hugging each other exchanging stories
It seems that Mum and Dad were looking
for me too.
Opening my player I realised, Brad will
always be my friend but God will always be my
partner!>>
My journey at the pyramids was interesting,
I learnt a few things.
But most of all is that God is with us every
step of the way!
