               ~A Scary Secret of Two Sisters~

One autumn, my sister and I made a blunder. She was

ten and I was sixteen. We planned to enjoy our holiday

because we were together but away from home.

Our excitement lasted till the end of our journey and

taught us an important lesson.

We felt very excited and grown up as we were on the

way to the home town of our grandparents in a cart.

Fresh and Cool breeze touched our body and our soul.

When we reached the lodge, we were disappointed.

Although it was expensive, it was not clean and well

furnitured. It had a tin roof. The room where we were

going to spend our night was small. I did not find it

cozy. In spite of a small window that was facing

towards the north, the room was not as airy as we

expected. Both of us dislike it. We asked our granny

"Is there any hotel? We like to stay somewhere else,

but not here." When we are about another option, our

grandfather replied," No, there is not any guest house

or hotel nearby." Their reply annoyed us but we could

not make any further request further. After we

unpacked our suitcase, our grandmother warned us

not to go outside till their return."we won't," my sister

promised, but I know that she was telling a lie.

We had already decided to go out.

We went out of the lodge as soon as our grandparents

were out of our sight. When we reached a narrow

gravelled street it was already dusk. The view of the

setting sun was very pleasant. Birds were returning

to their nests. We could hear children playing soccer

nearby, but the little street was quite. There was no

sign of any hotel. Suddenly,a thug stepped out from

the bush. He growled,"Don't move!" He was tall and

lanky. His black beard and dirty, curly hair was

disgusting. He was wearing a black face mask and

spectacles. When he came very close to us, we

could smell cigarettes and a terrible smell of alcohol

in his breath. I shivered. My little sister was terrified.

We were speechless. He said"Give me your chain."

So I did. Then he turned to my sister and said,

"Your earrings!" Without uttering any word, she

gave her best gold earrings. Snatching my hand bag,

he jumped into the bush and vanished. Then, we

cried and cried.

After sometime we recollected ourselves and run

back to the lodge. We did not feel safe until we

got into our room and locked the door behind us.

Though the man looted our previous things,he

taught us a good lesson. We had disobeyed our

elders which we were not supposed to do. Despite

their warning, we walked out in a place which was

new for us. Before this horrible experience, we

did not use to listen to our parents and elders.

How stupid we were! We now learned that we

should obey them because their experience and

knowledge are our guidelines for a better life.

After this incident,we became more obedient.

However, we decide not to tell the scary incident

to our grandparents or even our parents. We

know that they would punish us even though

we had learned a lesson. That dangerous adventure

is still a secret that I only share with my sister.
