The Boy At The House (8c)

"Richard, this is how it is -" says Daniel and smiles. "We usually try to find something in the Bible that tells us what to do in different situations."
"And then we usually find a way", says Paula.
"In the end", says Dilan.
"Okay", says Richard.
"Somebody has a suggestion where to read?" Gina says and opens the Bible randomly.
Everybody stands silent.

"Richard doesn't have any parents. Isn't there anything about that?" Gina says. "Kind of like to help them or something?"
Daniel smiles.
"Wasn't there anything about orphans in the text we read last week?" says Dilan.
"Psalms, was it?" says Daniel.
Gina starts to browse. She browses forth and back through the Psalms.
"Here I found something we read last week", she says.
She reads the text intensely.
"Father to the fatherless, defender of widows - this is God, whose dwelling is holy" she reads.
"But that isn't what I thought of", says Dilan. What I thought of is in Jacob, I think."
Gina browses and finds Jacob's letter.
"Wait", she says and walks away and sits down on the ground a couple of yards away and reads.
Daniel smiles and looks at Richard. "This is more or less how it usually is", he says.
A tiny, tiny smile breaks through in Richard's face.
