But Jose had no idea that there were people in town who were sensitive to people with special powers!
可是乔斯不知道城里有人对特殊功能很敏感!
These people were convinced that Jose was from the Devil. And they were determined to do whatever they could to send Jose packing.

Jose saw it coming! One day, as he walked out of school, a group of people was in front protesting Jose!
乔斯预感会发生这件事!一天,他从学校走出来,一群人正在前面对乔斯提出抗议!
They had posters that said things like "When God separates the wheat from the chaff, Jose will burn!" and "We can tell the sheep from the goats, Jose is a goat!"
他们张贴广告,上面写着"当上帝分淸好坏时,乔斯就要被烧死!""我们能区分好人和坏人,乔斯是坏人!"
It made Jose's heart sad! He knew that they would succeed. The town would soon send him away!
这使乔斯很伤心!他知道他们会取胜。这座城市很快就会把他赶走!
And no one would see him off, not even his parents! The fanatics would see to it that they were also convinced that he was evil!
而且没有人会向他告别,就连父母也不会!狂热者们保证会让他们也相信他是邪恶的!
But Jose was not going to leave easily. He lifted his arms, concentrated, and sent all of the posters up in smoke! Everyone gasped!
可是乔斯并不打算轻易离开。他举起双臂、全神贯注、把所有广告化为乌有!大家都倒抽了一口冷气!
"Sell out!" "Devil boy!" "Spawn from Hell!" People started yelling.

And then they sent in the police to apprehend Jose. Seeing that he could not win, Jose gave up and accepted his fate!
然后他们就请警察来抓乔斯。由于寡不敌众,乔斯放弃并认命了!
He would not even seek out a lawyer to try to defend this travesty of justice! Let the people send him out! He thought.
他甚至都不愿找律师对这种嘲弄法律的行为进行辩护!让人们把他赶走好了!他想。
Let them separate themselves from the help he could give! He didn't care anymore! He just cared about his parents!
让他们和他分开、得不到他的帮助!他什么都不在乎!他只在乎他的父母!
And they suffered. Once he was gone they tried to sell off some of his belongings.
他们真的受苦了。他一走,他们就想廉价出售他的一些私人物品。
But even the Salvation Army sent back their donations when they were told that they were the former belongings of the Devil boy! And Jose just disappeared!
可是一听说是魔鬼男孩以前用过的东西,就连救世军也把他们的捐赠物退回来了!乔斯就这样消失了!
