The boy in the striped pajamas
The boy in the striped pajamas. Bruno is a boy whose father is a commoner, working for the 'fury'. 9-year-old Bruno moved with his family, to Out-with for his fathers work. The adventurous boy came across a fence, and then he saw a spec and then that spec turned into a dot then that dot turned into a blob then that blob turned into a figure, which turned into a boy. The two boys became friends and every afternoon Bruno meets the little boy Shmuel at the fence. On day Bruno finds out he is moving back and is trying to break the news the Shmuel, but it seems he has bad news to... his father is missing, so Bruno agrees to go on one last adventure with Shmuel to help find his father. Not knowing what was on the other side of the fence, he quickly squirmed through the fence, looking to find Shmuel's father. But little did they know, it was shower time...they were put naked into a machine with loads of other people, gas surrounded the room and everyone in that room died.

Even though this is a sad story, it is also my favorite the story has a great effect on people and is a classic German story about the 'fury'. have you read it?
