the riviting story of a young man from slave to supervisor

As i walk down the dirt road in the humid air of Honduras i see a building.This building holds many secrets, most of which probably do not exist because i made them up, but that is beside the point. The one secret that i know is true is the story of a young American that traveled far across the ocean to come to a totally different country. He was not prepared for what was coming to him, for he had packed no food, and because his new found friends would betray him into slavery.
Well this man made it to his destination and made new friends, which you have probably guessed made him into a slave. The building i referred to earlier was where they forced him to work for hours at a time in the sweltering heat, he almost died a couple times from the heat. On top of all this he was tortured paint was thrown in his eyes. Ceiling tiles were dropped on his neck, and he was forced to sleep without air conditioning. This young man knew he could not live his life like this for he knew that God had a purpose for his life. So one day he devised a plan and his journey to freedom had begun.
When his supervisor called for him he answered the call as usual, but not so usual was the fact he was armed with a hammer and nails. wen the supervisor was not looking he nailed his pants to his shoes and he was so excited his plan had worked. but the supervisor was a bad man and put cocking in this young mans hair. but as the day progressed the young man had gained respect and the next morning he was supervisor. this story is heart warming as i well know and i would hate to leave you without telling you the name of this brave young man. his name was Jonathan Jack and he will always live in our memories as the young man who achieved higher job status over night.
