Despite known dangers on a robbery-filled road, George goes with his donkey and cart, selling beans and rice for the trip. The narrative highlights fear, community tension around a young teacher, and culminates in an attack by thieves.","A True Neighbour  \nAn African parable based on Luke 10:25-37  \nEnglish Bible  \nA True Neighbour  \nImages by Tamsin Hinrichsen  \nAn African parable based on Luke 10:25-37  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2024, Integral Vision  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

He smiledat her as he walked away, trying to convince her that everything would be one . She did not want him to go on this trip because there had been several robberies on the road where he would travel. He knew that she was scared he would get hurt or even killed. The week before, someone from the next village over had died atthe hands of  \nrobbers . The local government had sent for the provincial police to come and patrol, but they still had not caught the gang of thieves .  \nGeorge knew the risk but felt like he needed to get to the city because a month earlier, his wife began to get sick. The nurse at the clinic told them she would need to go to the city to see the doctor, but they did not have money for her to go. So, he needed to use the little money he had to buy beans and rice to sell in the village.  \nGeorge led his donkey and cart down the sandy path and greeted his neighbors as he walked. Suddenly, there was a loud noise ahead, and his donkey brayed and jerked its head around. George recognized the sound of the motorcycle that the young schoolteacher Mr . Quick-Quick drove .  \nMr . Quick-Quick came from a city far away. He did not speak the language of the people of this village and always drove quickly from one village to another to teach his classes . He loved showing o̜ how fast he could go on his motorcycle, and everyone suspected he had tinkered with it to make it louder . When he passed through the village the babies cried and the chickens ran away screeching. After he passed through, they would not lay eggs for another two days because they had been so scared. Even though he was a schoolteacher, people did not respect him, and they thought he was foolish because he was so young.  \nGeorge continued his trip. The sand ended and the path became clay again making it easier for his donkey to walk. He traveled for two days on the dirt road. Each night he stopped beside the road and led his donkey  \nand cart behind the brush. He laid down on large leaves he had placed on the ground, and he covered himself with a thin blanket he had brought with him . It was cold and he shivered and listened to the night noises until the sun began to rise . He did not sleep well at all but ̊nally made it to the city and bought his bags of beans and rice .  \nGeorge was still nervous but knew that soon he would be home . He looked forward to seeing his lovely wife again . He was only an hour away from the village when suddenly something hit him on the back of his head and he fell to the ground. He lay in the sand, stunned, and could not imagine what had caused him to fall. He tried to lift his head to get his face out of the sand but someone stepped down on his back. His worst fear had come true . He was being attacked by thieves! They beat him then grabbed his bags of rice and beans and ran o̜ . He lay on the road beside his cart and donkey, helpless .","cbCaihPUbob3O7x8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihPUbob3O7x8","pdf",5687313,1,25,"English","en",105,"# Story Overview\n## George’s Journey\n## Encounter with Mr. Quick-Quick\n## Robbery and Aftermath","[{\"question\":\"Why does George decide to travel to the city?\",\"answer\":\"George needs to get his sick wife to a doctor in the city, but they lack money for her trip.
