Transcript of Narration

"While Esther and her family stood outside shivering in the cold, Rachel pleaded with the soldiers to let Esther return to the house to collect some clothes. A soldier came with her, yelling at her to hurry up. Esther was so shocked and confused that all she could find were socks. When she seemed to be taking too long, he struck her in the mouth with his gun. So Esther went back to the road with a bloody mouth and an armful of socks.
