Tell me why? The teacher says. "I dunno" Bruno mumbles. "I just hate it here. I miss my friends in Berlin. This place smells. I had to do something. Anything." He tries not to cry.

The teacher shakes his head and looks at Bruno disapprovingly. "How about if you would write a story about your life here?" The teacher says in a suggestive tone.
