Old Lighthouse Keeper Sees Boat Washed Ashore, Hears Baby Crying from It – Story of the Day

As a fierce storm battered his remote island, Nikos, the lone lighthouse keeper, was drawn to the shore by the haunting cries of a baby from a wrecked boat. He found a group of five refugees, including a woman named Fatima and her baby. “I must check for survivors,” he muttered, grabbing his coat.

Nikos guided them to the safety of his lighthouse and provided them with blankets and water. The next morning, he discovered discrepancies in their passports, including one for a man named Hasan, who was missing. Fatima revealed, “Hasan. Husband. Father,” indicating that he had arranged for their journey but was now in danger due to owing money to “bad men.”

Nikos decided to help. He, Fatima, and two men set out to a neighboring island. At a run-down internet cafe, Nikos confronted the man behind the counter, whose panic confirmed his suspicions about the passports. “Where did you get these?” the man demanded.

Captain Pappas and his officers burst into the cafe, arresting the traffickers and rescuing Hasan and two other refugees. Reunited with her husband, Fatima’s tears of joy were a testament to their ordeal. Nikos felt a profound sense of fulfillment.

In the days that followed, the authorities assisted the refugees in obtaining official status. As Nikos watched them board a ferry to start their new lives, he reflected on the extraordinary events. His lighthouse, a beacon of hope and resilience, had once again guided lost souls to safety.
