THE CHOSEN ONES ( PART TWENTY SIX )

Jonah was not having much luck at catching any animals in his pits, it had put him in a bad mood,
he was also angry that one of his prisoners had managed to escape. He had questioned the other men,
but each one said he knew nothing.

Jonah knew they were lying, but decided not to let
the men see his anger, 'anyway,' he thought, 'I have another idea.'

He decided that he would return to the place, where he had seen a figure coming out of the river. Jonah rubbed his hands together and grinned,
that evil grin he always made, when he had a plan
up his sleeve. 'Maybe there would be more men to
replace Joshua.' he thought.

He laughed to himself, then pointing at a group of men, he cried out, "hey you!"
the men looked up. "Yes you men, put down your shovels and come here to me now."
The men to frightened to disobey Jonah, looked at
each other, as if to say, 'what's he got in store
for us?' they put down their shovels and did as they were told.

"All you men will stay here, carry on your work, but I'm taking these men with me, to find more workers. Okay the rest of you, back to work."

The group of men who were to go with Jonah did not
speak, they wrapped some food up in some cloth and
made their way into the forest, following Jonah,
they walked and walked, but had no idea where they
were going.

By the time they reached their destination, it was
late afternoon, Jonah told the men to stay down, watch and wait to see if anyone was around, Jonah
had a keen sense of smell, he knew that people had
been here.
