When Philippe heard Tom's snores, he tried to run away. But Zelie stopped him at the door.
"Don't go," she said. "Please don't go. He will find you, and then he will beat you."
"How do you know?" asked Philippe.
"Because," Zelie replied, "he has done it to me!"

"Oh, Zelie," Philippe cried, "I am so sorry for you. You are so brave."
Zelie then began to cry softly.
