THE STORY!!!
Make sure that before you start the story, explain these few things:
1) The Turks controlled Eretz Yisrael before WWI, when our story takes place
2) In the time that our story takes place, the chalutzim are starting to create the first ever kibbutzim in Eretz Yisrael -- a very hard thing to do.
The year: 1907. The place:
It was a dark and stormy night, at the end of the summer when we, the
