(1) Abraham (Paco or a German student) (112 words):  
 
I was born a very long time ago. Abraham was my name, UR my nation, and, the only God …….my religion. God blessed me with a son, Isaac /ˈaɪzek/. This had a son too, Jacob, whom, the 12 tribes come from. Muslim, Jewish, Christian, no matter which of these three religions you have, have you ever thought:
·         who our great…..grandparents are?
·         why we have separated so much?
·         where the root of our problems are?
 
Let’s put our family tree upside down, and we’ll see all its branches meet (join) one.
