An immigration of a family

            I have a friend whose name’s Kratos. He is Greek, and he lived in a city called Sparta. Three years ago, Kratos was living in Sparta. One day, a gigantic storm came and destroyed most of the buildings, manners, houses, and food resources. Cows, sheep, chickens were killed in the storm. Many animals died as well as people. Trees and vegetables were mostly blown away. Therefore, the price of food went up a lot, because of the storm’s destruction. Many farmers can’t afford to buy food for there family, and many of them died of famine. Kratos’s father is a farmer, and his family couldn’t afford to buy those very expensive foods, and there was a famine in all over Greece They have couple good friends who were very rich, and they lived in Vietnam.They finally decided to immigrate to Russia illegally by a big boat, and from Russia they will find a way to Vietnam. They moved outside of the country, because he couldn’t go anywhere within the country anymore, because famines are all over Greece. External-immigrating wasn’t so easy. They knew that they would face great dangers in this journey, but after this big journey, they’ll find themselves living better lives. They packed all their belongings, and headed to Vietnam by the big boat.
 The boat was arriving in Russia, and from Russia, immigrants could take flights to China with very cheap flight tickets. They are not alone. They’d got companies on their journey, too. No one other than Kratos’s family was going to Vietnam. Most of their companies were heading to China to find a better life to live, but they all were afraid of the boat running out of fuel or getting crashed. The boat’s engines were fine at the moment, and the boat was moving quite fast. Suddenly, the engine was running out of fuel. They had no choice but kept moving to Russia. Unfortunately they were caught by the police, and those immigrants knew that they were going to the prison. The police wasn’t asking the immigrants to prison, but for some money. The police patrols were kind and gave them some oil so that they could continue. It is the seventh day of the journey, and there were several people that died. Kratos and his family had survived for 7 days, and they were running out of food. Fair enough. They could hardly survive before they could make it to Russia, because there was going to be a storm that they would have to avoid. There was the storm. Everyone was praying Poseidon to calm the sea. There were several people who could not handle the storm and fell off the boat, and one of them was Kratos’s mother. Kratos woke up after the boat passed the most dangerous moment. Kratos was miserable because of his loss of a family member. Finally, they made it to Russia. The boat unbelievably survived the storm. Although, It is greatly damaged. In Russia, Kratos and his dad took a flight to China. They settled in Beijing’s outskirt. They were happy because they at least have a shelter to live. A few months later, they came to Vietnam. In Vietnam, Kratos’s dad’s friend helped his dad to join a business carreer due to his dad’s foreign language. His dad earned some money by doing that job, and they seemed to have better lives than it could have been in Sparta.
