In the 1990s, the former Yugoslavia was wrecked by civil war. Boris was fighting the war along with his people. He spent many months in the trenches outside the enemy villages. One day, while patrolling, he saw a small boy hiding behind a tree. At first, he thought that he might be a spy. A closer look revealed him as 8 years old boy. The boy belonged to the village that Boris was fighting against. He had wandered off and now he was lost. He did not know how to return to his village. Boris decided to take him to the village border himself. He knew that he could be shot but he did not want to put the young boy’s life in danger. On the way back, Boris was shot twice by the villagers, but he waited for the shooting to stop before he sent the boy back into the village.
