To whom it may concern,
Once there was a boy who usually travels up north in this time of the year. Never really assuring what it might or what might have been he nearly walk for hours and hours, hundred of miles covering the accent of one of the highest peak of the country. Pounding heart crushes him in his accent. Thinning of the atmosphere nearly gasping for final breath every time he moves a step.
Though on that one particular day, not an ordinary day, the boy saw a man carrying a packed burden of load on his back. The man told him that he needed help. The boy was so amazed in his astonishment to find out that the man is one eye blind. So the boy help him in return for nothing but companion in climbing the mountain. Exchange conversation took place then at the very saddle of the mountain the conversing duo stopped. Silenced filled the plains. Breeze flows through the boy's hair and then he stopped and turn to look back and found no one.
The boy then placed the load that he had been carrying for the entire climb on the ground. He wondered what might be inside that pack. Bone shivering sensation was felt after he had opened the pack and saw the old man all curled up significantly lifeless. The boy's jaw dropped and without any anticipation he was dead afraid and looked again inside the pack. The old man later on turned to dust and blown off by the wind.
He saw a note underneath where the old man was curled up, there it said, ''Thank you for carrying me up the mountain dear boy, in return i offer you my eye for you to see the world ''. The boy flushed and tears broke loose thanking his fortune.And that is the only time he saw the other half of his missing world in full panoramic view.
