 Moses page 4 by ric gustafson

Moses sat at the edge of the river. He watched as slaves pulled a dead hippo from the water. They stripped the meat from the bones. They built a fire and cooked it. 

As he watched the slaves enjoy the meat, Moses wondered about his Hebrew origin. He watched the slaves toil in the hot sun. He thought about their welfare quite often. He noticed a slave woman staring at him from the opposite bank.

Aaron and his parents ate the greasy food with gusto. " Thank you Miriam for the meat".

" I saw Moses".

" You did". Amram bit into a flour cake. " Where?".

" Where they were killing the hippo".

Jochebed smiled. " Did he recognize you?".

" I think he did".

Aaron grinned. " Would you like to talk to him?".

She sighed. " I think so".

" The elders are going to be having a meeting". Amram stood up from the table. " I will talk to them about Moses".
