My Mother Said..

My mother once told me, "Not to go hiking by myself." I never believed her one bit. I always used to say
"Whatever, nothing will happen. It is only a hiking path." Nothing she ever said to me was true so I never believed this one either. 

So, I wanted to prove my mother wrong, so I tested her words and went hiking alone. Not just that, I don't think she trusted me alone.

The next morning I set off at the set of the sun and took off on a famous hiking path, The Curious Consequences. The name has always scared little children but I have now turned 10 and I am no longer a child. I consider myself as a young adult.

So later on, I saw a sign said, The Ten Mine Mark! Good Job. Keep Going.

I carried on and the daylight faded into dark and the animals came out at night. That is also what mother used to say.

Finally I heard what mom was talking about! I heard the owls and bears and wolves. I don't know how I was going to survive through this loud stormy night.

I started to think of the worst things that could happen. First a kidnapping, then get swept away in a tornado. I think there was also a time that I say a bear chasing after me.

I couldn't believe what was happing. There was a ten thousand pound grizzly coming after me. I started to run, but I had to thing, should I run up the path or  down the path? I chose down, maybe just because the bear was coming at me from the top of the path.

I kept up as fast as my little legs took me. I had to otherwise I would be mauled and die instantly. I never thought that my life could end so quickly, so I dodged trees and branches; even a couple rocks I think. So I finally saw the flag that took me on the adventure.

I ran into the chalet and there were my parents waiting for me. I had no clue they would now I went hiking alone but I guess they did. I gave then big bear hugs and said, " I am glad this is the only bear hug I am getting in this lifetime.

They had no clue what I was talking about and I am also kind of thankful for that.

5 years later, I finally take back everything I had said.
