The Sailing Boat
Written and illustrated by Nathan Attila Cseko, age 9
Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there was a boat in the middle of the sea. But it was not just any boat. It was a sailing boat, with a tall mast in the middle and a flag flying above it.
The flag showed the colours of Hungary: red, white and green. On the boat was an army — a whole army — travelling across the sea on a dangerous journey.
They were sailing towards Turkey, but Turkey had many more people than Hungary. A great battle began on the sea.

The world was about to change forever...
