Juma Escapes the Kidnappers

Juma was walking home from school one sunny afternoon when a van pulled up beside him. Before he knew it, he was grabbed and thrown inside. As the van sped away, Juma realized he had been kidnapped. The kidnappers took him to a remote village, far from home. Juma knew he had to escape, but how?

Locked in a small, dark room, Juma tried to find a way out. He noticed a small window high up on the wall. It was his only chance. Gathering all his strength, he stacked some old crates to reach the window. But the window was too small to fit through.

Juma heard the kidnappers talking outside the room. They mentioned moving him to another location soon. Time was running out. He tried the door, but it was locked tight. He needed another plan. His heart raced as he searched the room for anything that could help.

Feeling hopeless, Juma sat down and almost gave up. Tears filled his eyes as he thought about his family. How would they know where to find him? His courage began to waver. But then he remembered his father's words: 'Never give up, no matter how tough things get.'

Juma had an idea. He noticed a loose floorboard and pried it open. Underneath, he found a small tunnel. It was a tight squeeze, but he managed to crawl through. The tunnel led him to the outskirts of the village. He was free! But he had to be careful not to get caught again.

Juma ran through the village, avoiding the kidnappers. He finally reached a dusty road that led back to his hometown. With renewed energy, he sprinted home. When he saw his family's house, he shouted with joy. His parents ran out to meet him, tears of relief in their eyes.
