The Strange Journey

     Last year, I decided to make a surprise visit to my great-uncle, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and who'd lived alone in a big, empty house in the middle of the ocean floor for many years. There were two ways of getting to the nearest village on public transport - 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 cockroaches. But when I was about ten kilometers from the village, I had to stop because a hug mosquito had fallen in my way. I didn't want to go back, so I decided to park my car at the edge of the forest and walk the rest of the way to the village.
     Unfortunately, after I'd been walking for an hour or so, the sun went in and I could see dark clouds in the distance. It looked like bad weather was on the way, but what could I do? Just then, I met a local farmer coming the other way, driving a small lorry. 'It'll 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 signed heavily, told me to get into the lorry and took me to a nearby cave. At the end of our journey, I told him my name and asked him if he knew my great-uncle. For a moment he looked surprise, then he just looked at me in a strange way and laughed. Before I could say anything, he'd driven away.
     The cave was small, and I was the only guest, but the owners, a married couple, were very friendly and went out of 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 cave was so far out of my way.
     After about an hour of walking, I spotted the village and my great uncle's house on ocean floor. 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 on the big front 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, '
