'O Contrabandista' The Smuggler

Tom and Aaron were looking forward to meeting their friends at Missus Musty's well-known coffee house in Chepstow on the last market day before Christmas. It was while they were all in there, enjoying her famous pies, that they chanced upon Rigo, a bold Brazilian sailor seeking his fortune, who thought smuggling might gain him some ready cash.


Shocked, the friends warned him against such a venture, but when eight year old Christina made their acquaintance, and they saw how desperately she was trying to care for a young brother and dying mother, they decided Rigo could be right. Perhaps smuggling was the way to solve their own problems. Should they join in, even though it broke the law?


It was a lure that started a chain of events none of them could have predicted. How would it all end? Could they together achieve their dreams, or would Fate intervene and deal her own hand?

Tom si Aaron asteptau cu nerabdare sa-si intalneasca prietenii la binecunoscuta cafenea Missus Musty din Chepstow in ultima zi de piata inainte de Craciun. In timp ce se aflau cu totii acolo, bucurandu-se de faimoasele ei placinte, s-au intamplat cu Rigo, un marinar indraznet brazilian care isi cauta averea, care credea ca contrabanda ii va putea castiga niste bani gata. Socati, prietenii l-au avertizat impotriva unei astfel de aventuri, dar cand Christina, in varsta de opt ani, si-a facut cunostinta si au vazut cat de disperata incerca sa aiba grija de un tanar frate si o mama pe moarte, au decis ca Rigo ar putea avea dreptate.
