In the country


Axel Gustafsson, 8th grade 2008-10-02


Once upon a time in the big forest there were two men who were going to hunt wild animals. The hunters' names were James and Roger. They were very muscular and they both had very long beards. James and Roger were going to hunt elk and foxes. They walked into the forest and suddenly Roger saw a mushroom. The mushroom was blue and it looked delicious.

"James, take a look at this mushroom," said Roger.
"Yes, Roger, it looks fantastic," said James.
"Let's eat it," said Roger.
"No, it may be a toadstool, "said James.
"No, a mushroom like this one can't be a toadstool," said Roger.
"Okay", said James. After just two minutes, both hunters ate the whole mushroom. What the hunters didn't know was that the mushroom was a toadstool. Both men began to act strange and Roger saw an owl. The owl said to him,"You shouldn't kill animals."
"But that's my hobby," answered Roger.
"You can get a new hobby like berry picking," said the owl.
"Okay," said Roger.

In the meanwhile, James walked along the shore to the river. He climbed on a stone and fell into the swiftly-flowing water and drowned.

Roger had picked berries for hours and he didn't know that his best friend was dead. The toadstool's effect was disappearing and Roger started acting normal again. Roger looked in his bag and saw it was full of berries. In the bag were bilberries, cranberries, cloudberries and wild strawberries. Roger wondered why he was in the forest with a bag full of berries. Roger walked for hours and suddenly he saw a foot path. He followed it until he came to a fence, behind the fence was a field. Roger climbed over the fence and began to walk again after five minutes. He saw some trailers and he knew that he was on a camping site.
Roger walked to one of the trailers and asked,"Where am I?"
"You are in Sollefteå", said the man that owned the trailer.
"Thank you. Do you know were the reception is?"
"Yes, I can guess, you need some new clothes. It looks like you have been out in the wilderness for a while. You see that big red house there, that is the reception", said the man. When he looked back at Roger he was gone. No one has ever seen Roger since that day. Somebody has claimed that he is dead from eating the toadstool, others says he went back to the forest to look for his friend James. No one knows, no one will ever know.
