The Strange Journey of a Man

     Last year, i decided to make a surprise visit to my great uncle, who i hadn't seen for a long time, and who had lived alone in a big, empty house in the middle of the countryside for many years. There were two ways of getting to the nearest village on public transportation you could take the train or there was a bus but either way was really slow, so I decided to drive.

     At first, everything went well. The weather was fine, and on the way i saw lots of beautiful scenery. But when i was about ten kilometers from the village, i had to stop because a huge tree had fallen in my way. I parked the car and decided to walk. But i didn't realize that there was a graveyard around me. Suddenly, from the tree came out a giant worms and i was so scared. I was panic and i just ran as fast as i could. Unfortunately, i didn't realize that i had run towards the jungle. After about 20 minutes of running, i was very tired and i recognized that i was in the middle of a forest. My luck, the giant worms didn't run after me. But not long after that, i saw another scary giant animal, cockroach. That was so scary, i took a rock and threw it to the giant cockroach, but it became angry and tried to catch me. Then, i ran as fast as i could back to the street. Unfortunately, after I'd been running for an hour and so, the sun went in and i could see dark clouds in the distance. It looked like it was gonna rain. Just then, a local farmer coming the other way, driving a small lorry. 'It will be dark soon' he said. 'Maybe you should go back the way you came'

     When i told him that my car was at least an hour away, he sighed heavily and told me to enter his lorry and took me back to a nearby hostel. At the end of our journey, i told him my name and asked him wether he knew my great uncle. For moment he looked surprised, then he just looked at me in a strange way and laughed. Before i could say anything, he'd driven away.

     The hostel was small, and i was the only guest, but the owners, a married couple, were very friendly and went out their way to make me comfortable. The next morning, they drew a map to show me the quickest way to get to my great uncle's village. I was surprised at how far it was i hadn't realised the hostel was so far out of my way.

     After about an hour of walking, i spotted the village and my great uncle's house on the top of the hill. As i worked my way up the hill I'd forgotten how steep it was! I wondered what he'd think when he saw me. At last, i knocked the door, and, to my surprise, a young woman answered. When i told her who i was and who i was looking for, she frowned in a confused way and said' Who are you actually ? And who are you looking for ? I don't know anything about the man you explained'.
