Jacob was helping his Mother stack firewood Ah sum shouted out. Ah sum is a old man next door from, Jacob.The old man bowed his head to Jacob's mom and gave her the bok choy. I don't know how you can eat that muck,'' said Mrs Bishop. She had William to beat her carpet.William looked at Jacob once their mothers left . ''Chinaman,'' William said putting down the carpet beater.''I hate those Chinese cabbages, too,'' said Jacob. Jacob knew he would get more people not talking to him at the school house. He was grumpy with Ah Sum for making him look bad. He went fishing to get away from William. When he got to the river he fell in.
Jacob started blacking out. He shouted but not a single person heard him. Jacob fully blacked out. He waked up he realised he was in a dark room and saw an old man huddled over a fire. The man turned around. He came to realise the man was Ah Sum. Jacob tried to get up but Ah Sum said to rest. Jacob asked were his mother was. Then Ah Sum replied she will be here soon just rest. Ah Sum offered him a hot drink. While Jacob was taking little sips Ah sum supported his head with his hand.''Walking home, I saw you beyond the rocks in the water almost drowning. Jacob looked at Ah Sum and realised his trousers were completely soaked. Jacob softly said " thank you for saving me".
At a part of the hut Jacob saw paintings and pictures of a man and a woman. Ah Sum was talking about his beliefs and ancestors. Mother came soon after that, and was invited in by Ah Ling. ''Are you alright?" Mother said." Ah Sum saved me'' Jacob said. They asked Ah Sum if he wanted coins for his troubles he rejected. They walked away to the path of their cottage. They were stopped by Mrs Bishop. Well look what the cat dragged to," she said.
''Jacob was rescued by the chinese vegetable man'' said Jacobs mom. ''Watch the chinaman'' and Mrs Bishop. ''Whatever do you mean'' said Jacobs mom.'' He'd probably sell his own mom if he's given the chance,'' said Mrs Bishop.'' I hope your not a eating that muck,'' aded Mrs Bishop.''Its called bok choy,'' said Jacobs mother. She took Jacobs hand and took him to their cottage.
