Mysterious Lady

It was a beautiful evening and Myles was in the green forest, picking firewood. He used to go to the forest each and every day. He was one of the hardest working men in his village.

The sun was setting, the wind was cool and the sky was beautiful. Myles decided to rest on a huge tree branch that was near a rock. He sat down and gazed at the sky. The sky was beautiful, it had a magnificent colour gradient as the sun was setting. The sky seemed to contain two different colours, red and orange.

He started thinking to himself, " The sky is so beautiful." He then closed his eyes, wanting to take a quick nap under the magnificent sky.

After several minutes, Myles woke up because someone was singing. The voice was so sweet that Myles couldn't resist. He quickly stood up and started following the voice.

When Myles followed the voice, it lead him to a very beautiful lady who was fetching water in a big clay pot by a river. She was wearing a lovely white dress, her hair was long and unique. She was dark in complexion.

She continued singing as she continued fetching water. It was clear that she was strangling to fetch water. Myles felt sorry for her.

He then pulled up his jeans, brushed his hair and walked up to the lady.

"What an amazing voice you have," he praised her.

"Excuse me"

"Sorry, my name is Myles. And you are?" he asked.

"What will it profit me if I tell you my name?" she rudely asked Myles. She stopped fetching water and looked at Myles in a weird way, she folded her hands in a way that indicated that she was not pleased.

"I didn't mean to disturb you, I only like your voice."

She replied while facing the sun, "Thank you. Now if you don't mind, I have to go."

"Wait!," he yelled, "At least give me your name," he insisted.

She acted as if she didn't hear him speak, she continued running. Myles was very disappointed. He turned in the opposite direction and walked with his hands in the pocket. He had thoughts running through his mind, "Will I see her again? Was I wrong? Where does she live?"

Just when Myles was about to make a turn, he heard the lady speak, "If you want to know my name, be here earlier tomorrow."

He was delighted to hear the information. He then turned to his right and continued walking.

He got the firewood and went home.
