Thousands of years ago in what is now called Nepal, a young boy, who was part of a group of nomadic people, was traveling along with his friends, siblings and family to the other side of India. It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining and the birds were singing.
Suddenly, while the people were trying to cross a river, the boy heard a strange noise. He turned around and saw all the animals and birds, including the ones of their caravan, running and flying away. Then, the earth started quaking and shaking, and because no one had experienced such a phenomenon before, everyone started panicking.
Shortly after that, the nomadic group saw what we now call Mount Everest rise before their eyes. As they didn't have their animals to help them climb the mountains, they were essentially trapped and surrounded by the mountains of Nepal. The boy's family and friends along with the rest of the nomad were not able to survive this unexpected turn of events and lost their lives trying to find a way out of these huge mountains.
This legend has been told innumerable times in India and everybody is terrified when they hear this story.
One cold and stormy night, a man was driving to his house. The rain was pouring down and there was thunder and lightning.
Suddenly, the car's engine stopped working. After multiple attempts to start the car, the man decided to walk. "Oh no" he yelled. He walked several thousands of meters hoping to find a phone booth or even shelter to spend the night.
Minutes after walking in the woods, he heard dogs barking and wolves howling. After half a mile he saw a little house in the middle of the woods. He hurriedly got closer and knocked on the door. The door opened by itself making a creaky noise, and a scary voice said "Come in" and burst into an evil laugh!
The driver started screaming and ran away. As he was running, he heard a creepy music coming from the house. He got such a fright that he slipped and fell into a puddle of mud. When he turned around, he realized that the house had disappeared in a blink of an eye. When thunder clashed again, the man woke up in the middle of the night in his bedroom next to his wife.
The next morning, at his office, he went to see his boss and when he knocked on the door it opened by itself making a creaky noise and the same scary voice said "Come in".
Dear George,
I hope you're well and that everything is OK at home and at school. You won't believe what happened to me last Monday.
My friends and I decided to go to an old sanatorium in Athens because we wanted to scare ourselves. The weather was terrible; it was pouring rain and there was lots of thunder and lightning. We walked along the gravelly road; it was cold and dark and the dogs were barking. We heard an eerie music coming from the sanatorium.
We knocked on the door of the sanatorium, but no one opened the door at first. We tried to get in and eventually succeeded, but the door was creaky and so someone heard us. Suddenly, we heard a scary voice saying "New patients at last", we got so scared we fled. While we were running out of the building, we heard an evil laugh!
Well, that's my story. I feel very lucky I survived such a scary adventure and the same goes for my friends! Thank goodness we ran so fast! Otherwise, our story might not have had a happy ending. Have you ever had an adventure like this? Please write and tell me about it.
Take care,
Mad Max
