He took Aliosha to see his new house. " This is a beautiful house," Mihailo told Aliosha." It has a huge garden and a beautiful stream." Aliosha was very happy and wanted to go home, but Mihailo would not allow him to leave. "Do you still want to go back?" Mihailo asked." You know there are many dangerous things here. You can't leave this place unless you learn to live here." Aliosha felt very sad, but he didn't resist. He bowed to Mihailo's authority and began to live there. There, Aliosha met her good friend Nicholas, a young boy. They played together, learned together, and grew up together. "What kind of person do you want to be when you grow up?" Nicholas asked. Aliosha was very surprised and asked,"I don't know." I don't know what I want." Nicholas smiled and said,"Do you know?" You've already decided. You want to be like me."
