Brave
Ignoring her questions, Joanne changed the topic by saying that she was brave there. Joanne knew that the little girl went through a lot and whatever she did needed a lot of effort. The little girl was unaware of the fact that she was actually assaulted by the man which is a great deal. Joanne concluded that the girl was brave and bold enough to raise her voice against the odds in front of everyone.
Thank You, Friend
After Joanne was finished speaking, the girl turned to Karl and whispered in his ear, “thank you, friend, you are the best”. She added, “Christmas is around the corner and I would write to Santa asking him to give you your hearing power”. The whisper was clearly audible and Joanna could not help shedding her tears after hearing whatever the little girl said.
Confident Look
The accused was proven guilty in front of the court. He was been taken to prison by the cops. While leaving the courtroom, he clenched his teeth and stared at the little girl with those nasty eyes. This time, for a change, the girl stared him back ferociously which made the man break eye contact. Joanna was impressed by the confidence the girl built up at that moment.
Karl, The Hero!
The difference in the attitude of the little girl was drastic. Joanna knew that all the confidence she gained was all because of Karl. Karl was the only one who supported the girl when everything and everyone was against her. Karl came in for her like a source of inspiration which made him a hero in front of the girl.
Friends Forever
The little girl expressed that she wanted to be friends with Karl for her lifetime. She asked for the address and phone number so that she could come and visit Karl whenever she wished to. Joanna, without a second thought, gave the little girl her card and invited her to visit her house. This marked the starting of a new friendship that is yet to be flourished.
