Ibrahima's Life
by Teonna

I want to tell you about Ibrahima, his home, and slavery. First of all, Ibrahima was a king and a father to many kids. He was a Moslem in a bribe called Fula. They were like a big family.

One day while Ibrahima was in battle the enemy took off running. When Ibrahima went after them it was too late to realize it was a trick. People came out with guns and arrows and started to shoot. People around him were screaming in agony. They had caught Ibrahima.

When Ibrahima awoke he was on a ship sailing the Atlantic Ocean. People around him were puking or really sick, some had wounds. And they were all blacks even the poeple with guns but they were in charge.

Ibrahima was maked and he assumed that he was going to be bought. When he was bought, when someone bought him he tried to tell them that he was important, but no one believed him.

On his way to town he saw Dr. Cox. Dr. Cox know Ibrahima was a slave now and he tried to free him after a few years it didn't work. When Dr. Cox died Ibrahima tried again and it worked. He was finally in Africa. After a few years he died.
