The crew drove to the pond and back several times a day. the pond water was piped into what looked like a giant plastic bag - a bag big enough to fill the entire bed of the truck.

They patched the bag again. The drilling went on.

Hundreds of people lined the riverbank. The soldiers were forcing some of them into the water, prodding them with their rifle butts, shooting into the air.

Other people, afraid of the soldiers and their guns, were leaping into the water on their own. They were immediately swept downstream by the powerful current.

As Salva crounched on the bank and watched, a young man near him plunged into the water. The current carried him swiftly downstream, but he was also making a little progress across the river.

A cloud of red stained the water. 

*plunge (앞아래로 갑자기) 거꾸러지다[거꾸러뜨리다], 급락하다 (=plummet)

The rain was still pouring down - and now bullets were pouring down as well. 

The rain, the mud current, the bullets, the crocodiles, the welter of arms and legs, the screms, the blood... He had to get across somehow. 

Later, he would learn that at least a thousand people had died trying to cross the river that day, drowned or shot or attacked by crocodiles. 

For a few moments he could do nothing but gasp and choke. 

*pour down (비 등이) 쏟아지다

*as well 또한, 역시

The villagers ate a lot of fish, of course, and hippo and crocodile meat as well.(47p)

No one knew anything for sure. Where was Salva suposed to go?

Kenya. There are supposed to be refugee camps in Kenya.

Crowds of other boys followed him. Nobody talked about it, but by the end of the first day Salva had become the leader of a group of about fifteen hundred boys. Some were as young as five years old. 

Salva found that he could only think of his brothers and sisters as they were when he had last seen them, not as they would be now. 

*plague[pleɪɡ] 전염병 (=epidemic),(한동안 고통문제로) 괴롭히다 (=trouble)

*peril [ˈperəl](심각한) 위험, 위험성, 유해함 

*keep up

오늘의 영어! 따라잡아, 계속해 "keep up"

He organized the group, giving everyone a job: scavenge for food; collect firewood; stand guard while the group slept. 
*scavenge[ˈskævɪndʒ] 살피다, 찾아다니다, (먹을 것 등을 찾아) 쓰레기 더미를 뒤지다

*scavenge for …을 찾아다니다

*stand guard 경비를 서다

*coax[koʊks] 구슬리다, 달래다 (=cajole)

One step at a time... one day at a time. 

Just today - just this day to get through...

 

Salva told himself this every day. He told the boys in the group, too.

And one day at a time, the group made its way to Kenya.

More than twelve hundred boys arrived safely.

It took them a year and a half.
