In 1941 he was arrested by the Germans as prisoner 16670 Maximilian stood up and said take me in his place because I won't be missed like this man

The Tree Hut Treaty - by Ben

5/2/19

L.I:W.A.L.T respond to "The Tree Hut Treaty"by explaining our feelings.

                                      The Tree Hut Treaty
Today we read about "The Tree Hut Treaty" in the story Tia and Manaia had new neighbors who where right about their age.Tia and Manaia climes over the fence and asks them what there is your name the boy replied i am Jack and she is Crystal.After they get to know each other they ride to the tree near their house.They stop there and lay there silently after a while Crystal breaks the silence and starts talking.Then she says "have you reached the top before"Tia says " you will have to get a ladder to reach the top". My feeling for the story is that it was a incredible story about Tia and Manaia and there friends Jack and Crystal.I liked it because it had a good introduction and ending.
