The Evil Orphanage

This is the story of a brave boy named Julius in the evil orphanage.

Julius didn’t have a home or a family anymore. The only things he had left from his parents were a photo of them smiling together and a drawing he had made for them when he was little.

Everything changed for him one sad day when a man in their town who had been raising wild wolves let them run loose. Julius’s parents were out for a walk when the wolves appeared, and… they never came back.

It was the worst day of Julius’s life.

After that, he was sent to an orphanage. At first, he thought it would be a safe place. But it wasn’t. The food was terrible. The children had to sleep on the floor on thin, torn mattresses. The owners of the orphanage were mean. And when Julius got older, they started yelling at him and hitting him, even for the smallest mistakes.

Every night, Julius lay in pain, his body sore and his heart heavy. Sometimes he cried himself to sleep, wishing he could just see his parents one more time.

As time went by, he began to notice that every time the government officials came to visit the orphanage, the owners would suddenly act very kind, serving nice food, smiling, and pretending everything was perfect. Julius didn’t know it then, but it turned out that the owners were getting paid to take care of the children, so they lied to make the place look good.

No matter how hard Julius and the other children tried to tell the truth, no one believed them.

That’s when Julius got an idea. He decided he would prove what was really going on. He asked kind neighbors if he could help with small jobs after school. He worked hard for them, sweeping yards, washing windows, and running errands, saving the little money he earned.

After many months, Julius had enough money to buy a small camera.

He hid it carefully and used it to record everything that happened at the orphanage: how the kids were treated, what they ate, and how they were punished. He made sure to keep it secret.

Then, one day, the inspectors came again as usual.

Julius had wrapped the camera like a gift. And as the team was leaving, he handed it to one of them and said softly, “Please open this later.”

When the inspection team watched the videos, they were shocked. Everything Julius had recorded showed the truth about their home as it was.

Soon after, the owners of the orphanage were arrested, and all the children, including Julius, were moved to a better, safer home.

For the first time in a long time, Julius felt hope.

Moral: Work hard for what you believe in, and never be afraid to speak up for what’s right.
