Trip to the North

I stood on the platform and waited for a train. A young woman approached me and asked,

“Are you going to the north station?”

“yes”, I said, and when the train came, we got on it together.

She told me that she was going to her parents who had a house in the north. Before arriving, she offered me to join. We exchanged trains at the station and traveled north between grass meadows and spread wood. From time to time we crossed a wide river on an iron bridge. After about three hours we arrived in a small town. Her father, who waited in his car, collected and brought us to their home in the middle of the wood. Near the house, there was a stream of fresh water, and in the evening, deer came to drink and satisfied their thirst. Night fell, there was full darkness and only thousands of stars shone in the sky.

I stood on the platform and waited for the train. A nice young woman approached me and asked:

“Are you going to the north station?”

“Sorry”, I said, “I am going to the south station”.
