  1. I am David By Anne Holm

  2. Summary: Chapter 8 • David found Switserland very beautiful, but the Swiss seemed never to laugh. • David wrote Carlo a letter saying he would not hate him any more as long as he, Carlo, did not use force again. • When David slipped over the Swiss border into Germany, a traveller saw him but, instead of giving him trouble, he gave David a lift.

  3. David became very fond of his companion, King, and thought him to be very clever in a doggy way. • David stumbled onto some of them while walking one day. • He and King just had enough time to hide behind a small bush. • He realised, however, that they could not escape without being noticed.

  4. King seemed to realise the danger and sacrificed his life by running to the soldiers and biting them. • In doing so, he attracted attention away from David who ran to safety. • King was shot dead by the soldiers. • David’s sorrow made him lose his appetite for life.

  5. Despite his sadness David travelled, with the help of several lifts, to Copenhagen in Denmark. • David found the address of E Hjorth Fengel in a telephone directory, Strandvejen 758. • David was almost too scared to knock on the door, but eventually did.

  6. 15. When a woman opened the door, he recognised her as the woman in the photo and said in French that he was David. 16. His greatest fear was that he would be rejected, but she said, “David … My son David.” *******
