Shmuel opened his mouth and closed it. He opened it again and tried to find words, butthere were none. He looked towards Bruno, his eyes pleading for help.

Chapter 15: Something He Shouldnt Have Done(Page 175)

'Well, I am sorry about last week,' said Bruno. 'I hate that Lieutenant Kotler. He thinkshe's in charge but he isn't.' He hesitated for a moment, not wanting to getsidetracked. He felt that he should say it one last time and really mean it.

'I'm very sorry, Shmuel,' he said in a clear voice. 'I can't believe I didn't tell him thetruth. I've never let a friend down like that before. Shmuel, I'm ashamed of myself.'

And when he said that, Shmuel smiled and nodded and Bruno knew that he was

forgiven, and then Shmuel did something that he had never done before.

He lifted the bottom of the fence up like he did whenever Bruno brought him food, butthis time he reached his hand out and held it there, waiting until Bruno did the same,and then the two boys shook hands and smiled at each other.

It was the first time they had ever touched.
