Descriptive Writing Activity #3
Once upon a time, there was a girl who was born in a huge forest. The girl named Emma peacefully lived in the forests with animals instead of her parents. People in cities has never saw her, so her existence was treated like a fairy tale. She has a best friend who was born same time as her, and they’ve been growing together since they were born. There was only one problem between Emma and the bear named Oliver. The problem was that Oliver is a bear. Sadly, Oliver doesn’t know that he is a bear since he grew up with Emma as a human. Oliver liked Emma secretly, so he decided to convey his love to her on her 20th birthday. On her birthday, he went to see her at her wooden house but Emma was not there. Oliver ran around the forests and looked for her. When the night fell, Oliver met an owl who lived in the entrance of the forests. The owl told him that Emma’s parents came to the forests to see Emma, and brought her to a big city which Emma’s parents live. “She didn’t tell me anything before she left here… “, he muttered calmly and went home. Next day, he left the forests briskly to go to the city. It was a dangerous trip for Oliver. Everything what he saw was new, wonder and stimulating. Everything outside the forests took away Oliver’s eyes and it made him feel strange. When he arrived in the big city, people were afraid and tried to drive him out of the city. He was very sorrowed and suffered by people’s behavior. At that moment, he realized that he is different from other people. He sadly went back to the forests and he’s gone to rest in a place illuminated by the full moon in a few years. After Emma got old, she suffered from serious illness. She reminded and missed the forests every day, so visited there with nostalgic feelings. When she arrived at her wooden house which she lived until 20 years old, nothing has changed. The only difference from before was there was no Oliver. She squatted down weakly and passed away quietly on the ground where Oliver breathed his last. When the Spring came, one white carnation blooms on where Emma and Oliver were sleeping.
(White carnation meaning – My love is alive.)
