The Chosen Twenty

I have a dream–

Do you have a dream too? 

… 

The daylight hadn't even begun to show its perky butt in the sky when many rose to their feet. 

Bang, Bang, bang~

"Wake up, wake up! Wake up!" 

A special team ran through the village, waking the chosen households on their list. 

The home of Ghall Rento, was one of these households. 

Of course, there was no need to wake them up, none of them could hardly sleep a wink all through the night. 

Benjamin shook his little feet, jumping off his straw bed and rushing to the back of his home to take his bed. 

"Good morning father, good morning mother…" 

A pot of water was already boiling at the center of the main room.

Without wasting time, Benjamin washed his face with a half basin of hot water, with a few blocks of snow thrown into it. 

The mix made everything warm.
