The Mysterious Forest
Once upon a time, there was a dark, far forest that had a very big, but small house; a mysterious house.
The appearance of the house from the outside was incredibly small, although, from the inside, the house was as
big as a giant castle. This house had no one living in it, except for one old man. This man had a little child, not
of his own, named Alfa Romeo. This little child was not normal. Occasionally, he disappeared from the house.
When Alfa Romeo disappeared, an unknown teenager appeared walking around the house. The present
situation made the old man wonder where Alfa Romeo went, as well as how he was able to vanish away. One
day, when the old man went out into the dark forest to chop and collect some wood, he heard a strange sound
that was sort of familiar. He went towards the sound, hoping to find out what the source was. As he walked
closer to the sound, he sensed a small movement that occurred in the bush on his back left side.
Immediately, the old man (whoonce was the world champion in Taekwondo) turned around and saw
what was unbelievable. He saw anenormous, gigantic, monster-like bear! The bear stood up on his two feet
and let out a loud, scary roar. The man did not show that he was afraid, instead, surprisingly, he challenged the
bear to fight. Astonishingly, despite the age of this old man, he defeated the bear with his own bare hands!
Later, the man decided to continue on his way, more carefully, seeking through the woods, hoping to find Alfa
Romeo. On his way, the mansaw a tiny, white bunny that seemed lost. The man saw that there was something
shiny coming from the bunny. Whenhe went close to the bunny, he recognized there was something tied
around its neck. As he bent down to examine what the shiny object was, he saw that it was a glass piece with
the symbol of an igloo. Just as the man was going to take the glass piece from the bunny’s neck, the bunny ran
with an abnormal speed, escaping from the man. The old man hurried after him, albeit, he was not fast enough
to catch the quick bunny.
Subsequently, the man traced the footprints of the bunny on the muddy forest road. However, when he
was solicitously observing the bunny’s footprints, he saw a paper on the ground. He picked it up cautiously,
realizing that it held a message, saying, “Follow...The Bunny.” The old man was extremely confused and did
not understand what the message was trying to say. Later, he acknowledged that the message commanded to
follow the bunny, knowing that it obviously is the bunny that he saw earlier; the one he already is tracking. As
a result, the old man started suspending from this situation, because it was indeed strange. Therefore, the man
marked to go after this bunny and learn what the hidden secret was. Moving forward inside the forest, the old
man reached to the sight of the bunny and saw it going inside an igloo-like, glowing cave.
Downstream, the old man took a glance on the cave from a distance, among detecting the objects in
there. Whereas he was spotting the cave, he heard voices of men, with loud metal work sounds. He slowly
directed to the cave and saw there were people who were creating robotic bunnies, all with the exact shape,
size, and features. The man noticed the wall of the cave, in which, “Contest” was written. This gave the old
man an idea that those people could be making those robotic rabbits for a contest, but the idea did not seem

very accurate. The amazed, old man kept browsing the cave, taking a closer look. When he went inside, he
recognized a man that once was shown on the news. He seemed like a very important man, considering all the
securities and police surrounding him, as was presented on the T.V. He remembered that the news reporter
mentioned that this man was the prime minister of the recently discovered country, Chilomosopotamia! The
man was absolutely shocked because the prime minister seemed to be in the lead of those people making the
robots. Were they planning for the destruction of the forest? That would be horrible for the many animals
living in the forest. Where would the poor animals depart to? How would they find new habitats?
Due to the old man’s passion for animals, he thought of what would happen to the forest, for a long
time, if the prime minister and the men working for him are planning for its destruction. He also thought of
what this prime minister had previously done this past year, like clear cutting, to the other forests in the area.
At the end, he couldn’t think of it anymore, and crashed the narrow cave door open. When he opened the door,
forthwith, all men directed their guns at him. The man froze in his place. Fortunately, he had encountered this
exact situation when he was working as a spy for a group of police that was looking for the common good.
Eventually, the old man bent down and swept all the guns away, in the blink of an eye, succeeding in keeping
all the weapons away from those people. Now, the old man took everything he found important, including the
necklaces that held the igloo symbols, so that he can research more about this incomprehensible issue. He also
took a look at the “Contest” and figured out that they had a secret, illegal emulation, related with selling drugs.
After, he called the police and informed them about the place of the incident and they came and took them,
while the old man continued on his way. On the way, he saw that same teenager that appeared when Alfa
Romeo disappeared. Deciding to keep track of him, the old man went silently after the teenager. They reached
a specific place and there he saw Alfa Romeo! He looked like he was sleepwalking and thoroughly hypnotized.
Alfa Romeo was helping the people that wanted to conquer the forest, by searching for metals and other
equipment.
When the old man saw what was occurring, he was extremely concerned for Alfa Romeo and thought of
a way to wake him up and get him out of there. He thought of distracting them by throwing a stone towards
them, so they would go after the source of the sound. He did as he thought of doing and his plan did not work.
He threw another stone, although, this time from the opposite direction. The men that held Alfa Romeo heard
the sound and tried to find out where the sound came from. This gave a great chance for the old man to save
Alfa Romeo. The old man ran to Alfa Romeo, looked around, making sure that none were in the surroundings,
and at once escaped rapidly back home. The old man rushed among the woods, trying to reach home as quickly
as possible. Taking a few breaks between his journey, the man finally reached home safely. By the time, Alfa
Romeo awakened and did not realize what was going on. Later, the old man told him everything, in details,
leaving Alfa Romeo flabbergasted. Nineteen years later, coming to the end of the story, Alfa Romeo woke up
from his deep sleep, realizing that everything was just a quite long dream…
