One morning, I was on my bike to the school. When I reached the T-junction, I was very shocked knowing that the wooden bridge fell down. Just a couple of days ago the same bridge stood proudly over the small sturdy road. After school, I used to stop over the T-junction and walked to the bridge. I spent some times enjoying the cold wind that mildly blew my face. I usually saw an old woman feeding the birds under the big bars of the bridge. Then, I was worried, “What if she was asleep when the bridge fell down?”
I felt a strong desire to find her. I got off my bike and rushed to the broken bridge. I crawled among the wooded bars. I focused my eyes and my ears to find old woman. After some minutes, I heard a faint cooing noise somewhere in the darkness. When I got closer, I knew it was the sound of birds that the old woman usually fed. They looked swollen and their eyes betrayed a look of death. “You poor thing, look at you!” I exclaimed. They drove me to reach a spot as soon as possible.
I had to be very careful because the wooden piles possibly buried me. Then, I was shocked. In the small hole, I saw the old woman was lying still, dead. She was surrounded by the birds. Then, I fell onto my knees beside her, trying to hold the tears back. The sorrowful cries of the birds didn’t make it any easier. I buried my face in my face and cried.
