A Walk in The Forset
The forest was green and there was many flowers, fruit and animals. Birds were flying and singing song, this was a spring song. I entered the forest with in these sounds and smells. The weather was good, you could see the sunshine through the trees. If you want to look up, you can be dizzy while you were walking the forest, so the trees were tall enough. I had magnificent emotion because of forest’s calmness and peace. Breathing was better than everywhere. You could feel how much the forest was magical. I never wanted to leave but ı wanted to live there if I were a child. I continued walking in the forest quietly. I collected some fruit from trees and ate them. This was very nice feeling, you could get what you want from trees as if forest gave you all its fruits. I saw some turtle which were pretty. I saw some squirrel which could fly from tree to tree. I decided to discover the forest deeply. While I was walking on the small path, I heard some interesting sounds from sky. I tried to see what was happening on high but I couldn’t see because of the trees leaves. I was frightened but worried too. I climbed the tree and saw the greatest birds show I have ever seen. They were dancing as if they were in a cartoon. They followed up themselves one by one while they were singing. Everything had seemed perfect until the vultures came. When they came, you could understand how much the birds were disturbed, but of course you couldn't do anything except hide. If I had a gun ,I wanted to shoot all of the vultures because they were the cause of finishing that dazzling show, unfortunately I couldn’t do anything and run away like the others.
While I was walking, I shocked. There was an old house which seemed terrible. This was a small house but I felt something bad about this house. I thought there was just one room and one bedroom. It looked like an abandoned house because their windows were broken and the door opened. It was covered by spider web may be for years. Bats were flying around the house. It seemed horrible enough for me so I didn't close the house. I started to analyze it. It was dark and its truss was covered by moss. The crows were standing the roof as if they were looking at me. There was an old wood cutting machine. May be somebody, who was a woodman, had been living there formerly. There was a hammock next to house and it has started to go off. If you looked the house in large perspective, you can be afraid ,but I used to stay and look the house in course of time and it was boring too. Before I left there, I had wanted to burn that house but I didn’t want to burn all forest so I didn’t do anything. When i passed the house ,I felt relax but this situation didn’t continue for a long time because i saw a big bear and it saw me too. It was a huge, enormous bear I have ever seen. Actually I had never seen a bear until that time except on TV. It had big claws and mouth. If it wanted to eat me, it could do this at once. Its eyes looked like an hungry wolf so I was frightened about my health. May be it had a small bear and it tried to protect its child, I hoped like this, because when I went away from its place, it wouldn’t do anything, but my wish was frustrated when it stood up on just 2 legs and shouted at me. I was so afraid of that I almost soiled my underclothes. I thought about running away or not moving anywhere means freezing or climbing tree quickly.
I selected the freezing and i was petrified. If i tried to run away ,I was caught so I made a decision and didn’t move in addition to didn’t breathe. The bear surprised and I tried to understand its feelings ,I think I could guess. It just wanted to frightened me and when I became petrified, it couldn't account this and sat down again and looked at me at a loss. I took advantage of its amazement and run away from there quickly.
I thought about this forest had been so beautiful at first but after the horrible house and the enormous bear I started to think negative thoughts about this forest, and I made a decision for returning back but I was lost, I couldn't find my way and started to be worried.
I descent into desperation and I was brooding on how I could find my way, in the meantime I saw a garden in the forest. The garden was very beautiful and huge as if a gardener have worked there for years, so that I tried to find a human for asking how I could go out the forest but nobody lived there. I was surprised because anybody hadn’t done anything but the garden has seemed superb. It had more than 30 kind of fruit and the trees were pruned so it seemed very ordered plus clean. I wanted to go for a walk under the colorful fruit and ate some of them which were delicious I have ever eaten. Flowers were shining like paradise. I confused again about the forest because something were unbelievable, something were disgusting or terrifying. While I was walking just then a man shouted at me about what I were doing there. I was happy for see somebody. I didn’t think awful things about that man at first because I hoped he will helped me and he showed me the way. Any longer I knew how I could go. I walked through the exit and saw the wall as the man said me before. He said me “you have to climb the wall if you want to go out this forest.” But he didn’t talk about the wall so that I didn’t ask anything about the wall. When I saw the wall, I was dumbfounded.
The length of wall was approximately 30 meters and I didn’t know anything about its width. It started approximately 30-40 km away and may be more than this. So i tried to find how can I climb the wall. I examined because may be there was a hole on the wall. I couldn’t see any hole, any rope and so forth. It looked like the great wall of China. It was smooth and no trees around the wall. I was curious... Then suddenly I had an idea about passing the wall. I started to find something for digging. I will tried to dig under the wall and if I could success, I will became free again. I cut a tree and diminished the end of plank. I achieved to dig the land. I saw the other part of the wall and run away as fastest as I did.
