Bad friends
       It was raining in the mountain. Mary was lost. She started walking down the mountain trying to find the road. Suddenly she stumbled and she fell down. She looked back and she shouted very strongly, there was a hand out of the ground. She dug the mud and she recognized the body, he was her husband. She started crying and she went to ask for help.

       She went running to the road to go from there to one town that was one kilometer away. She was very scared so she started running. When she arrived at the town there wasn't anybody in the street, except for one old woman. She went to the woman because she didn’t know where the nearest police station was. The old woman told her that there wasn't any station in the town. She couldn't believe what was happening, her husband was dead and she didn’t know where she was. She started walking around the town and she found a phone box. Mary was very frightened and she couldn't dial the numbers but she made an effort. She phoned to the police but no one answered the phone. The light had gone. Mary couldn’t phone anybody so she returned crying to the old woman. The woman was a very good person and Mary decided to tell her what had happened. The old woman understood Mary and she put her up in her house. Next day came the light an Mary phoned the police. The police and Mary met in the old woman’s house. The police asked some things and then the police started investigating.
       The next morning, they went to the mountain where Mary had found her husband’s body and they found a clue of the murderer: They found a wallet. There they found an Identity Card and they saw that the man who assassinated Mary’s husband was Mr. Smith which was her previous husband whose divorce she got last year. They went to the police station and they talked to the police chief. The police continue investigating about the murder. They went to Mr smith’s house but he wasn't there. So they waited until the next day. It was a very cold day and it was snowing. Mary and the police went again to Mr smith’s house. They knocked on the door but he didn't answer. The police saw Mr smith going out of the window. The police went behind him but he went to the car and the police couldn’t catch him. The next day Mary saw Mr. Smith in the park with her daughter. Mary picked up a stick from the floor and went to hit him. Mary approached Mr smith and hit him very hardly.

       When she hit him, he was left unconscious. She scared and because of this she started running. She thought that she had killed him and so she went to a small and unknown town to don’t get caught by the police. There she found a very old house and she decided to hide there for a time. The house was very dark and it smelled very bad. In the door of the entrance it put “Adolf and Sara”, they were the owners of the house and the name produced a rare sensation to Mary, so she had to tread carefully. She started going upstairs and the stairs began to creak, so in any moment the stairs could fall.
       A week later, while she was watching television, someone knocked on the door of the house. When she opened, she saw that was her ex-husband, and she realized that she hadn’t killed him. She tought that he came to kill her but Mr Smith, told her that he was not the murderer of her husband and he knew who was. Her ex-husband told her that he discover the murderer of his husband. He said that after Mary hit him in the park, he went to her house to ask for an explanation. When he arrived to the house he heard her neighbour shouting. He turn on the phone and he started recording the conversation. He was saying to his friend that he was very proud for killing his neighbour and for incriminate to Mr. Smith. When he heard that he started finding Mary until today.

       Then Mary knew that her ex-husband was saying the true because she had the sensation that her neighbour was controlling her and her husband. They ran to the police station to show the proof. The police, Mary and Mr. Smith went to Mary’s neighbour’s house. When the neighbour heard the siren, he poked to the window and saw the police cars arriving. He tried to escape but he fell down of the window to the street and died. Since Mary died he lived alone, she didn’t go out her house for anything. She only went out her house to visited the tomb of her husband.

The End.

SPECIAL PLACES IN EUROPE

There are a lot of places in Europe like Paris, Rome, London, Berlin, Athens... These places are famous because of their history, culture, buildings... In this article we are going to write about some of these places because we think that they are very interesting, although we have never had the opportunity to go there.



We are going to start with Paris. Paris is the French capital and it's located next to Seine river. It has a lot of famous monuments like the Notre Dame, Arc of Triumphe, the avenue Champs-Élysées... If you go to Paris we recommend you specially to visit the Louvre museum. This museum is considered the most important museum in the world because of its collections, for example we can find the Gioconda by Leonardo Da Vinci. Also it is impossible to visit Paris and not to see the Eiffel tower, it is required to visit it. If you want more information you can find it in wikipedia. 

Another interesting place is Rome. Rome is the capital of Italy, the country of pizza and pasta. Inside of Rome there is another small state: Vatican City. It's one of the six micro-estates of Europe and it has only 0.439 Km2. We recommend you to visit this place because here we have, for example, the Sistine Chapel. In Rome we have the colosseum, this building is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture. Also, we can find the Trevi Fountain. It is one of the most famous fountains in the world. Usually people throw coins to this fountain because they believe that it brings good luck. There are a lot of stories abot this, but this belief is the most famous.


The last city we are going to recommend you is Athens. Athens is the capital of Greece, it's considered one of the oldest cities in the world, around 3,400 years. Its name comes from the goddess Athena. The most spectacular building is The Acropolis of Athens. These places were to defend the city and to pray. Also you can see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. This building is a theatre made of stone in 161 AD and was used for music concerts. However, it has new buildings like the Olympic Stadium. Here we have the most important archaeological museum, the National Archaeological Museum.

We hope that this information will be useful for you to choose your next holiday destination.
