ONE COUNTRY WITH MANY STORIES | Page 8

‘‘You don‘t know who I am, do you? My story starts with the words - a long time ago, when I was five years old my family lived in an amazing place near the sea. I had beloved parents and my childhood was full of joy. I was the happiest girl in the world. Every morning I greeted the rising sun and the blowing wind I played with the sand and had a company of seagulls. One day when I was enjoying my time on the beach a big wave came and washed me deep into the sea. Luckily, when I woke up, I saw lots of trees around me. The place was the one we are in now. I didn‘t know where I was and why it happened to me, and what I needed to do. I was angry and scared at the same time. I wanted my parents back... After some moments an old woman came and gave me that ring with a diamond saying these words, ‘‘ Your escape will come to you itself‘‘, and she disappeared.
