Mark, tall and tan, had his father\u2019s dark hair and eyes. He lifted his head when he heard a voice from inside the thatched roofed cottage. \u00a0Mother called out her request and Mark emphatically responded, \u201cNo! I refuse to do the babysitting again.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWell, you don\u2019t have a choice Marcus Harmler!\u201d returned the stern voice of his mother. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mark knew that when his mother used his full name, he was in deep trouble, and pressing the matter further would be bad for his health, but he answered back anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDrake is always bugging me and whining, even though he\u2019s eight years old! He\u2019s such a baby!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mother turned red with anger when she heard the words of her elder son, for she didn\u2019t like it when Mark criticized his younger brother so harshly, or when he balked at responsibility. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFather, I need your help in here!\u201d Mother called out to her husband. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father rushed in with a garden hoe in hand and was looking fierce. \u00a0He was not at all happy with being interrupted because he was being paid for every raldua he could find, which was pretty difficult considering how small the things were. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat is it Dear?\u201d asked Father.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMark\u2019s at it again,\u201d replied Mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father then faced his now nervous son and with his usual feigned<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">roughness, grunted and then entered the house completely. Next to Mark, he was a tall man indeed. With short brown hair and arms that looked like they could lift boulders, he towered over Mark. He seemed to be a giant to his fourteen-year-old son. He knelt down on one knee, so Mark could see his solemn brown eyes looking as if they were reading Mark\u2019s thoughts and very soul. Father then spoke in a quiet but stern manner. \u201cMark, you know that you are old enough to know that babysitting is not an obstacle. It\u2019s just us putting more trust in you and believing that you are ready for more responsibility. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Growing up means understanding that life doesn\u2019t revolve around what you want. We all have to work together and be willing to do our part, however small, to bring prosperity. Now, if you\u2019re afraid of this life being your life forever, then remember that the future has not yet been written; the future is not yet set in stone, and one day you will not be babysitting or feeding the horses and the pigs, but instead will be having adventures of your own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mark nodded while looking at his muddy boots. Ashamed of his babyish actions, he quietly prayed to be a more mature person. Mark, with a sudden rush of courage looked up at his father expecting to see the anger and disappointment etched on his face, but was met instead with a kind and thoughtful smile. Father gazed at him with the eyes of a man who believed that his son would be a great man later in life. This made Mark have a fuzzy feeling and let him dream and hope to be the \u201cman\u201d he saw in his father\u2019s eyes.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then Father said, \u201cMark, I need you to watch your brother while I take the raldua to the village to sell and while Mother does the shopping. Why don\u2019t you take a walk around the farm and give yourself a chance to calm down while I talk to your brother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At that point, Drake hollered from the upstairs loft, \u201cPapa, Papa, Mark has been bossing me around again and he dumped my stuff on the ground.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mark was about to defend himself against the accusations of his verbal attacker when Father put up his hand to stop another feud from erupting. Father then called out to Drake, \u201cI need you to come outside to talk to me, son.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At that point, Mark turned abruptly, and went to take the \u201ccool down\u201d walk. Mark was fields away when young Drake, his auburn hair flopping into his brown eyes, came bouncing downstairs to answer his father\u2019s call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father motioned for Drake to follow him out to where the men were picking the raldua. Drake hated raldua, although it was considered a delicacy. As he came out of the house, he saw the flowers blooming in the fields and the grain growing thick and strong. The farmers were pulling up the raldua, lettuce, and carrots. \u00a0Drake smelled the smoke of the nearby town and knew the village would be alive with the activity of the blacksmiths, bakers, cobblers, and grocers. Drake noticed that his brother clenched his fists, as he walked off. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDrake, why were you calling your brother out like that?\u201d asked Father, bringing Drake\u2019s attention back to the matter at hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe was bossing me around and telling me to go feed the chickens and water the plants,\u201d complained Drake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSon, all of those things are important and necessary to the life we live. Don\u2019t start a fight that you cannot win. You must listen to your brother while Mother and I are away.\u201d Drake dropped his eyes pouting, but then nodded before trudging sulkily back into the house. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Father then went back into the raldua patch and resumed his picking. Mark was still walking in the fields when he stumbled upon a toy that he had buried in anger a few weeks ago. The toy had been a favorite of Drake\u2019s. He kicked the sturdy wooden toy defiantly and then remembered his father\u2019s words and his promise of the future. With a new feeling of responsibility and resolve and a desire to preserve the peace, he stooped to retrieve the toy and dusted it off. Standing tall and with shoulders square, he marched back to the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2924\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"2924\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/responsiveed.com\/responsiveed-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micah Williams, a 15-year-old eighth-grader at Corinth Classical Academy, recently won first place in the North Central Texas College Jerry Simpson Memorial Short Story Contest.
