Safe Place


I kept walking along the little crave path, I’ve been wonder where this path is going to lead me to. Along the way, the spring flowers were blooming, the birds were singing to keep my company. I kept on walking and walking until a wall blocked my way. The wall is too high to claim over, too strong to break through, how can I reach to the other side of the wall?, I wondered to myself. I walked along the way, hoping to find a place that I can claim over. After I walked for about 10 minutes along this endless wall, a small door appeared in front of me. I walked up to the door, pushed it, and it opened in silence. I go inside full of curiosity. As soon as I entered, a sign greeted into my eyes. “Welcome to the Secret and Safe Garden, you will have amazing experience here. This garden will be the safest place in the world, as long as you promise to keep the secret.”
I walked toward the center of the garden, while walking, I heard a beautiful melody, like coming from heaven. I saw butterfly dancing around the flowers; I saw birds and squares playing together. There was a bench in the center of the garden, when I sat on it, something magical happened. I saw a little girl at first, but then i realised it was me when i 10 years old! It was a sunny afternoon, my friends and I were playing hide and seek. I was hiding in the Ms. Brown’s garden. She had plant beautiful flowers, specially roses!. The moment when i started to feel bored while waiting for someone to find me, an idea come into mind. I picked off almost half of the roses in the garden and throw it on the ground, I thought it was just a mischief, and nobody would find out. After I return to home late that day, I had completely forgotten what I did in Ms. Brown’s Garden. Later that night, Ms. Brown came to my house with a big bouquet of roses. She told my mom what had happened, but she didn't reproach me, all she said was “I think your daughter like my roses, here is my present for her.” I felt so guilty that day, but I also learned something precious. When somebody do something bad to you, you don’t have to treat them back the same way. Show them your love and caring, it might actually change them. Suddenly, the scene changed, I was standing in the stage about to perform. I remembered, that day was the first time I earned an honor in my life. I came to first in a dancing competition. The feeling was so good, I worked so hard for this competition, i did my best and I succeed! After a flash of blue lights, I come back into the present and I realized that it was getting dark! I promised my mom that I will return home before night. I got up from the bench and started to walk towards the door. “I will keep the secret.” I said to myself. I know I will come back to this Secret and Safe garden again, this place is full of magic, and I knew I will have more amazing experience!
