The Old Woman

Once upon a time there lived a woman maybe in her 80s, dusky skin, white hairs, skinny, blue eyes, wrinkles all over her face and she used to wear rugs. She used to look this much worse that a 5 year child can easily get scared of her. She used to live in a makeshift dusty hut in a forest. She used to look like a witch. And there were rumours in the nearby cities that she is a witch and have stone heart, thats why no one used to come in that forest. But little did anyone know that, that old creepy woman can be a beautiful lady from inside and had a very big heart.

One day A tourist from New Zealand was exploring the forest and ends up losing his way. While walking in the forest he fell into a pit hurting himself. He was injured but still walked and walked till he came to the old woman hut. ' Hello? Is there anyone? I need help', he cried. And then came a answer from the hut ' Yes, how can I help you?'. ' Hey ! I am injured, I am hungry and thirsty and I even lost my way.', he explained. ' But are you sure that you'll take my help despite my ugliness?', she asked from inside the hut. ' Yes, I'll, please stop questioning and help me, I beg you', he requested to the old woman. Then the old woman showed up and stepped outside her hut to help him. At first when the man saw him he was shocked but then after seeing how much kind she is, he didn't said anything to her. For weeks, the old woman took care after the man like his own son.

She would make him food, medicine from plants like paste to heel his wounds. And the man was very thankful for the old woman. But the day before he was going to leave him and go to city he asked her, ' Why do you live here in this forest, do you know that people think that you are a witch with stone heart and people are scared to come in this forest, and seems like you still don't care what they say about you? Why? ' See, I don't care what the people say or think about me, I just care about what I am doing, I wanted to live as much closer to nature and thank it. I might be not beautiful from outside but I am beautiful from inside. I believe that we should whatever we want to do until it is for good cause.' the old woman said. After listening to the woman the man completely changed and decided to live with her forever in the forest.
