A STRANGE WEEKEND

While we were
driving our car to
a small town near
our city.
• There was an old woman sleeping
and swinging in a hammock. Next
to her, a small boy was playing
with some rocks. When I looked
at him, he threw a rock at our car,
and it broke the windshield.
• I walked towards the old house in
ruins. Suddenly, it disappeared
with the woman and the small boy
just before our eyes, so we were
terrified and immediately ran back
to our car. As soon as we got back
to it, to our surprise, the
windshield was not broke
• We saw a very similar house to
the one we had seen before – but
a bit better, with a similar
hammock hanging from two
small trees next to it. A boy that
looked like the one who broke
our windshield, was sleeping in
the hammock, but he was about
three or four years younger.
The old woman looked very alike to the old
woman we had seen before but much younger.
She kindly told me to keep on driving along
the road to the next town. We thanked the
woman and continued our trip for about three
hours.
• We heard some rumbling
sounds and a huge and
terrible landslide fell
just in front of our car.
Fortunately, only a small
rock hit the car and left
just a little scratch on
it. We were terrified.
• Finally, when we got to our
destination, we asked the people in
the town about our mysterious
incident. Everybody told us that we
were very lucky because the woman
who lived in the old house had
saved our lives. She and her
grandson had died many years ago
when 100 tons of rocks and mud
destroyed their house on a rainy
night. People say that, since then,
she has saved many drivers’ lives
when there is danger in the zone
