The Old Hag

Last Friday, I was watching Bibot guard the West Gate. Then a wagon leaving to get vegetables came to the gate. A hag driving a wagon was the most terrible looking person I had ever seen. Bibot stopped her and looked into her cart. When I looked at her, she had a white bonnet that looked like it was for a baby. It looked much worn out and old. The hags hair was brownish-gray and wavy. It was very wiry and looked like she had not washed it for a while. Her eyes were creepy. They were a brownishblack color. The left eye was open, and the right eye was closed. They looked bloodshot and one was black. Then I saw her nose; that was a mistake. It was huge and pointy and was so ugly and wrinkly. She had the most humongous nostrils I have ever seen! Next, there was that weird mouth. It was curved and fat, and wrinkly. In addition, her skin was RED, and I do not just mean tan, I mean RED. She has warts all over. It looked ugly. Then, I saw her shirt. It was a blackish-green and was all torn up. She had a shawl that looked homemade. It also looked like it had been used many times. When I looked more closely at her, her skirt was huge. It was white and loose; it was torn up and worn out. When Bibot was about to finish looking through the cart, the hags grandchild popped out. People said he had the small pocks or the disease. Then Bibot told them to get out, so they went through the gate.
