Ben Hur page 3 by ric Gustafson
Naomi heard the footsteps of her son. " Good evening Judah". She smiled. " Where were you today?".
He grinned as he sat down on a cushion next to her. " I saw Messala today".
" That Roman boy".
" He is not a boy any longer". His voice hesitated. " He is a Roman soldier now".
" I see".
He smiled at his mother. " What can I do for a profession?".
" Some day you can take over your father's business".
" I just want to be useful".
She hugged her son. " I know".
" Can I watch Messala and the cohort march by our home tomorrow?".
" Yes you may".
Judah gave his mother a big hug.
