    Welcome to channel 8 news. We are reporting to you from Warsaw,Poland in September 8, 1939. We come to you for a breaking story about a young boy who is doing things in this city for himself and for others, but mostly making friends along the way. Later we will show you the devastation of when a family is separated. And later, the weather with Jerry Spinelli.

     Our first breaking news involves a group a children that were hiding in a barbershop. When interviewed about why they would steal food, none replied except for a bor named Uri and a boy named Misha. They claimed that they stole for the sake of the group. That they were  "family who had to protect each other." When asking Misha why he stole he replied with a simple "I don't know. It's all I've ever known to do. Uri says that we have to stay away from the Jackboots and get our own food instead of the food from the "Tanks". The rest of the children are still in questioning but we will be filling you in all week.

    Our second story still involves this little courageous boy and his story, Misha Pilsudski. He grew up a gypsy with 7 brothers and 5 sisters. Her mother and father where well knows wherever they were. Whether it was when his mother would tell people the name of the person someone would marry, or when his father was successfully trades a horse, they were loved until they were in Warsaw,Poland. After a "Jackboot" purposely bombed their families 7 wagons, everyone was split up. All little Misha had was his favorite horse Greta, and his parents. But after a while, a group of people tore him from his family never to see them again . . .
