Topic: You are alone on a hike in the woods. You come across a 374 year old woman. What do you learn from her?

Last year I went in camping with my friends in the woods. You now, I am scared from the night, but I was happy because I was with my friend. The comping was for three days.

 

The first day we went on the river near our camping to look the creatures and the nature there. The river was beautiful and it was with blue color, like the sea. The nature around there was also beautiful with long trees the green color was everywere. It was beautiful like the blue color of the river get’s insane with the green color of the nature. 

 

We went to explore everything in that pleace and there begin my terrible story! The third day I want to talk with my parents in the phone, but it was late and it darkness to. So you imagine I get lost, because I went a little for from the camping so, it happend what it happend. 

 

It was terrible, the noise of the animal, the night, the moon everything, I hope I died there. But when I was crying someone came on me. There was an old women. I thought it was a dream, but now, it was really a women. The women come and told me to not be scarry. She was a women that lived alone in a house to far from the city, and from reality I could say. I told to her my story, that I get lost. She offerd me to go with her , in her house. In begining I don’t now what to do, but I woldn’t stay there with that terrible noise. So I went in her house.

 

It was a beautiful house, small but lovely. There she talk with me about her story. She was 374 year old, and she had lived alone since her parents, her family died. Klara, was her name. Klara told me that she lived so far because she doesn’t like the huams. She think that the animals are better. I was surprised but, I understood the reason when she told me that her family died because some friky people killed them, without a reason. She was a little child and rememberd everything of that day. The story was that the people that killed her family were drunk, and they didn’t now because, were in the effect of alchol. Since that day she lived in the house in that wood. And she gets food from there. No one now me, told she, and I don’t want you to talk with anyone about this. She told also that when she saw me crying, remember herself that day, and that’s why she helped me.

 

The other day my friends was looking me, but I haven’t told them anything. That was a secret about me and Klara. So there is an advice, don’t go to far from your family, and peopled don’t drink anymore. Since that day I and Klara become friend. I went in Klara’s house and she talk with me about different things and story. She is a lovely women. Is a fact, that the life wasn’t good with her, but in other or another way she was happy.
