summarize pages 56-59

On pg. 56, the perspective changes back to Josef, now somewhere on the Atlantic ocean, the subtitle “6 days from home” (56). Ruthie and Josef play on the deck of the boat, loving their new life on the MS St.Louis. Ruthie tells the other little girls they meet that Josef is almost about to have his bar mitzvah. The girls tell them their father is waiting for them in Cuba. The four of them decide to play a trick on one of the servers on the boat, laughing and playing.
