Once my family members and I went to a nearby riverside. We wanted to see the woods and walked into the thick forest. Then we went deep inside the woods. There was very dim light inside the thick forest as light could not penetrate through the densely packed trees. We could hardly see one another. We soon realised that we had lost our way. There was fear of wild animals, hunger, thirst and also it was getting darker.

The very thought of passing night in the forest trembled us. We didn’t even know to climb trees. We began to search the way out so that we could somehow get out of it. The only wish and the only prayer at that time was to get the way out, Suddenly, we heard the horn of a vehicle passing through the road. Oh! God, we were on the right track and we just started to run as fast as we could into the direction of the sound. We had come out on the highway cutting through the forest. The happiness of those moments couldn’t be expressed through words. It seemed as if we’ve got a new life.
