Wake Him Up!

He was sleeping. I paused to look at him then looked at my bag of books and silently crept away.
Go back and wake him up!
Have mercy!
"God," I protested, "how rude!"
He needs a book! Go back and wake him up!
I went back.
"Hello!" I said, "hellooo?"
God, have mercy...
He woke up and stared at me, his eyes bugging out.
"No habla ingles."
I canvassed him in Spanish. I showed him the Paz (Peace).
He wanted to show it to his mom, but she was inside. I took the book back. Wait, never mind here she is.
I gave him back the book. He showed it to her. She bought it. What if I hadn't woken him up? What if I had been disobedient? Shiver.
God's mercy.
