Forest Ghost

Once upon a time, there was a village having two ways to reach there. One was by passing through a Jungle which was a short cut and the other was very long journey by passing through villages and schools. There lived a man named Mr. Oliver who was a teacher in a school.

The school was out of village and Mr. Oliver used to choose the safe road always though it was long as he used to be late to return to his home from school always due to the many other tasks he has to perform at the school other than teaching to kids.

One day he was very late to reach home after his late workings at school and he thought of taking the jungle path which would help him to reach home early. He asked one of his friends to give him company to the path of jungle but he simply denied as he was also very scared of jungle path and heard from many people that the path is not safe and no one could till date come out safely and alive from that jungle. Though it was so late and dark, Mr. Oliver had decided to start his journey alone through the jungle to reach home early. He had a torch in his hand and started waking towards the jungle. He started walking through jungle and after walking a mile away Mr. Oliver saw one small child was crying in the jungle. He thought that child must have got separated from his parents and have forgotten the road to return. He decided to help the kid and came near to him to ask him what happened. He asked him, "What happened and where you stay?" The child turned to Mr. Oliver and said "This is only my house and I stay here only". Much to the surprise to Mr. Oliver that child was having no face means no eyes, no ears, no mouth, no nose nothing..

Mr. Oliver after seeing that child fainted and fell down. He could not believe what his eyes had seen. He started running as fast as he can. He met one person in his path holding lantern in his hand and asked him, "What happened? Why are you running and seems so scared?" Mr. Oliver exclaimed, "Who are you and what are you doing in this jungle?" He said my tree house is just near here. Mr. Olivet narrated him the whole story what he had seen. That person taken Mr. Oliver to his tree house and asked him "Would you prefer tea or coffee?" Mr. Oliver was still scared and said, "No, thanks". That person took out sharp knife from his pocket and asked Mr. Oliver, "Then you should prefer this.." He robbed Mr. Oliver and left him alone again in the jungle. Mr. Oliver was in double trouble and barely could come out of it. He still had not lost his hopes. He kept on walking as fast as he can and tried to reach home at the earliest. Mr. Oliver learnt a big lesson in his life. Difficulties and adversities viciously force all their might on us and cause us to fall apart, but they are necessary element of individual growth and reveal our true potential.

We all should remember this, Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns it's back, there is still always hope.
