dear my friend Roni,
We are after the WW1 and I was going from San Francisco to Yokohama. The journey takes 14 days and after that we will meet! On the ship there are a lot of people. I hope I like these people.
I will write you again soon!
Yarden.

Hi again,
This is my state-room.In the room there are 2 beds and one porthole. It is not a big room but I have a partner in the room. His name is Mr. Yotam. He is a good man We are friends!
But on the ship there is a man, his name is Mr. Kelada. He is a chatty man and I do not like him. He wants us to sit together in the dining room…
I really hope he does not annoy me.
see you soon, Yarden

Roni,
We have been on the ship for a week.
Do you remember I told you about Mr. Kelada?
So, he thought he knew everything! Everyone called him Mr. Know All!
He was everywhere and always!!! He ran everything. He managed every activity on the ship! No one liked him, but he thought that everyone liked him.
I really want to arrive home. I miss you…
Yarden

Hi!
How are you?
I was in the dining room, with Mr. Kelada, the chatty! We were
sitting in the table, Mr. kelada, Mr. ramsay, his wife Mrs. Ramsay, the doctor and me.
Mr. ramsay was a great heavy fellow from the Middle West, fat man with black hair. his wife was very beautiful.
Mr. Ramsay liked to annoy Mr. Kelada! they arguing about everything.
I need to go, but I will tell you the story in the next letter!

Roni,
I promise you I will tell you about what happened in the dining room.
So, The doctor talked about pearls and like always Mr. Kelada told that he know everything about pearls and what he does not know, no one need to know. Mr. ramsay Started a fight with Mr. kelada.
Mr. Kelada Said he knew the difference between fake pearls and real, and Mr. ramsay annoyed him.
I will continue the story tomorrow.

Hi
It’s me again, i want to contine the story about Mr kelada and Mr ramsay.
Mr Kelada told Mrs Ramsay that her chain she wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now. Mrs Ramsay flushed a little and slipped the chain inside her dress. Mr Kelada said that this pearls of her chain are real and asked how much it’s cost. Mr Ramsay said that Mrs Ramsay bought that string at a department store the day before we left New York, for eighteen dollars. Mr Kelada was shock. they bet on money if the pearls was real or fake.
Sorry I need to go.
I will write you tomorrow!

Hi Roni,
How are you?
so; I countined the last letter.
Mr kelada and Mr ramsay was bet. Mr kelada asked Mrs Ramsay if she can take off the chain, she hesitated a moment. finally, she take of the chain and Mr kelada look a magnifying glass from his pocket and closely examined it. first he was smile, but when he saw Mrs Ramsay face that was so white that she looked as though she were about to faint. Mr Kelada said that he WAS MISTAKEN!!!! Have you ever thought that Mr Kelada was mistake? it was surprise for everyone.
See you soon…

Mr Kelada took out of his pocket a hundred-dollar bill. He handed it to Ramsay without a word.
Mr Ramsay was harassed Mr kelada and said to him “Perhaps that’ll teach you not to be so cocksure another time, my young friend” I saw that Mr Kelada trembling.
In the next day all the people in the ship know this story, every one talked about this.
In 2 days we will arrive. I am excite to see you!
yours; Yarden

Hi Roni, this is the last day on the ship.
In the morning I saw a letter under the door of our state room. i picked up the letter and this is for Mr Kelada.
Mr Kelada open the letter and saw 100 dollars bills. He tore the envelope into little bits and gave it to me, i was throwing them out of the porthole and he said to me “No one likes being made to look a perfect damned fool” in this moment I was understood that the pearls was real and Mr Kelada was right all this time.

Roni, this is the lest letter i will write you.
Mr Kelada said that if he had pretty wife like Mrs ramsay he would never leave her alone fo a year.
At this moment I I did not entirely dislike Mr Kelada. All this time he just want to be good and help people.
Now, I want to be his friend, but I dont know if I wiil see him again… I shook his hand and we parted.
we arrived to Yokohama and I on my way to you!
love you; Yarden.

I arrived to Yokohama, I saw my family and my friend and this was great!!
I missed them so much.
It was a special exprience!
