We finally reached grandmothers' farm house so dad parked our car near the very edge of her hug farm land that was of course filled corn , and some other plants like ; oats , clover and some pasture . When we made our way through the field of corn that seemed to go on forever, we finally saw the house that was in the right side edge of the whole field. When we reached the front porch dad suddenly stopped and told us to wait there for him until he called us over, my dad left us standing there for five minutes until we heard him call us over. When we went up the stairs we saw grandmother looking at us with overwhelming joy, my grandmother had light emerald eyes that sparkled in the moonlight; she also had a tender pale face that was very pretty in the dark, she used to have straight jet black hair that fell to her shoulders in sprays of silk but now she had white silky hair that she always kept combed, and of course my grandmother was short with cherry red lips that made her smile all the more beautiful to look at. When her eyes set on me she smiled a wide happy smile that filled me with happiness which I always get when I'm ever near my grandmother , and so of course I ran to her and we both hugged each other so tightly before she welcomed the others and bade us inside her house . When we entered inside we saw that she had already prepared dinner so we took the food that we planned on sharing with her my grandfather died long before I was even born from cancer so I never got to meet him , but my sister did and she said that he was a very kind man with a really gentle smile so I guess she liked him really much cause of the way she described him and I almost kind of feel really sorry for her , almost . We all set the food on the table and the deserts in the fridge so that when desert time came the deserts would be cold and not hot. But as always it took a lot of convincing to make her accept the food that we brought just for her. After that we all sat down on the table and started eating the good food, and of course we were ignorant to the fact that this would be the last happy dinner that we would have.
After the food I and my sister brought the deserts out to the table, when we finished our deserts everyone washed their plates and dried them before putting them away. We all gathered in my grandmother's living room that had a fire place so it looked quit cozy which it was of course , when we all took our spots ; grandmother on the rocking chair in the middle, dad in the chair at the left of the room and mom in the right , while me and my sister sat curled at the floor covered with a warm fluffy carpet me curled at grandmothers' chair and my sister curled at dad's chair . When we all went into our '' positions '' grandmother asked if anyone wanted to hear a story ( my sister says '' we are too old for those grandma '' and I agreed , but I like to hear grandmother's voice while she tells us a story so I always say '' yes please '' ) and tonight was no exception , so we ended up saying the same thing as we always did . So grandmother started to tell a story, but this time it wasn't any moral stories that taught you a lesson at the end ( my sister simply hates those ) but it was a simple story this time :
Grandmother's tale
'' There was once a young lady whose parents were dead and so she was living with her uncle who always loved and adored her very much. The young lady lives a happy life with her uncle and his wife until one day a terrible storm came , so the whole family had to stay inside for their lives , but if they stayed there they would die from starvation so her uncle went outside to bring them food . After about 5 hours, there came a knock at the door so the girl went to answer it. But from the eye hole she could see that it was indeed her uncle out there so she wasted no time in opening the door to her tired uncle. After the uncle had dried himself he showed them what food he had brought; there was a hunted deer, a basket of eatable berries, and two small rabbits, he was indeed great at hunting. After they had dinner everyone went on to their own rooms to sleep through the awful storm that roamed outside, so the young lady made her way to her room and went under her covers for warmth. In the middle of the night she herd a weird sound coming from her uncles' room so she stood up and made her way to the hall of their house, she found her aunt asleep in the kitchen while trying to put the plates away so she made her way forward to her uncle's room, but before she could enter inside she herd her uncle's voice say '' but they need me, I can't leave with you not yet please …. Please '' then she herd her uncle cry but before she could go inside the room to comfort him a smooth voice said '' you are coming with me so that I could place you in a better place with no pain '' she didn't hear anything until her uncle said '' will they be …. Safe without me being there to protect them from danger? ' The strange person inside the room said '' yes, they shall be safe without you I promise '' there was a long silence until she heard her uncle say '' then I shall go with you …. But please keep your promise to me '' then she herd a weird sound before there was a swish of something sharp and that made the young women afraid so she ran to her room and closed the door before she went under the covers pretending it was a dream until she fell asleep . In the morning when she woke up she immediately herd her aunts' shrike across the hall so she ran to see what her aunt was shrieking about , when she reached her uncles ' room she found her aunt on the floor crying her heart out next to her uncles' bed and when she moved her eyes to her uncles ' bed she found him laying peacefully in his bed . Before she could ask what was wrong she noticed he wasn't breathing at all, she finally figured out who the voice was , it was the voice of death there because her uncle's soul and that meant her uncle was dead . ''
After grandmother finished her tale she said '' it is a real tale of my life, you do know that I lived with my uncle and aunt for most of my childhood did you? '' we all nodded cause it was true grandmother's parents died when she was really young her mom first and then her dad too so she was technically an orphan. We all grew silent as that idea sunk in and how much she suffered with her uncle dying too but it was said that he died from the cold in the storm and not from death himself like she said but when you are a child and you've seen so many awful things you sometimes want to imaging something magical happened to cause it , that made me feel worse for grandmother . I stood up and gave her a kiss and a hug before going to my '' assigned '' room , I brushed my teeth and changed into my nightdress before climbing the bed and falling fast asleep .
