these things happened to me nearly 10 years ago I lived in a city but the city was hot in summer I wanted to see the country I wanted to walk in the woods and see green trees I had a little red car and I had a map too I Drove all night out into the country I was happy in my car we had a very good summer that year the country was very pretty in the early morning the sun was hot and the sky was blue I heard the birds in the trees and then my
car stopped suddenly what's wrong I thought oh dear I haven't got any petrol now I'll have to walk I'll have to find a town and buy some petrol but where am I I looked at the map I wasn't near a town I was lost in the country and then I saw the girl she walked down the road with flowers in her hand she wore a long dress and her hair was long too it was long and black and it Shone in the sun she was very pretty I wanted to speak to her so I got
out of the car hello I said I'm lost where am I she looked afraid so I spoke quietly I haven't got any petrol I said where can I find some her blue eyes looked at me and she smiled she's a very pretty girl I thought I do not know she said come with me to the Village perhaps we can help you you I went with her happily and we walked a long way there isn't a village on the map I thought perhaps it's a very small village there was a village and it was old and
pretty the houses were black and white and very small there were a lot of animals the girl stopped at a house and smiled at me come in please she said I went in the house was very clean but it was strange too there was a fire and some food above it I felt hungry then that's strange I thought they cook their food over a wood fire perhaps they have no money I met her father and mother and I liked them they were nice people but their clothes were strange sit down said the old man are
you thirsty after your walk he gave me a drink and I said thank you but the drink was strange too it was dark brown and very strong English 5 story I didn't understand but I was happy there I asked about petrol but the old man didn't understand Patrol he asked what is that this is strange I thought then I asked do you walk everywhere the old man smiled oh no we use horses he said horses I thought horses are very slow why don't they have cars but I didn't say that to the old man I
felt happy there I stayed all day and I ate dinner with them that evening then the girl and I went out into the garden the girl's name was Mary see this is nice she said we like having visitors we do not have many people here we spoke happily she was very beautiful but after a time she began to talk quietly and her face was sad why are you sad I asked her I cannot tell you she said you are only a visitor here we have to say goodbye tonight you have to go now I didn't
understand I loved her I knew that and I wanted to help her why did I have to go but Mary said again in a sad voice you have to go it is dangerous here so I said I'll go to the next town and find some petrol then I'll come back she didn't speak I love you Mary I said and I'll come back to you you won't stop me she said goodbye to me at the door her face was very sad and I was sad too I didn't want to go it was midnight the night was
very dark but I walked and walked I was very tired when I saw the lights of a town I found some pet metal and then I asked the name of the village but the man at the garage gave me a strange look what village he asked I told him about the village I told him about the old houses and the people with strange clothes again he gave me a strange look he thought and then he said there was a village there but it isn't there now there are stories about it strange stories what do people
say about it I asked he didn't want to tell me but then he said there was a big fire in the village everybody died there aren't any people or houses there now how did it happen I asked and why Oliver Cromwell killed them he said he was angry with the Villagers because they helped the king in the war I couldn't speak this isn't right I thought that war happened 350 years ago then I remembered the strange clothes the long hair the food over the fire and the old houses and I remembered too about the horses
but I don't understand I cried I saw the people and the village I spoke to some people there the man looked quickly at me and then he spoke there's an interesting story about the village for one day every 10 years it lives again but only for one day then it goes away again for another 10 years on that one day you can find the village but you have to leave before morning or you will never leave can this be right I thought perhaps it was Mary said you have to go she loved me but she
said we have to say goodbye she was afraid for me now I understand I thought I went back to the Village but it wasn't there I looked again and again but I couldn't find it I saw only flowers and trees I heard only the sound of the birds and the wind I was very sad I sat down on the ground and cried I will never forget that day I remember Mary and I will always love her now I only have to wait two months The Village will come back again on the right day I will
go back I will find her again my love with the long black hair and this time I will not leave before morning I will stay with her in these things happened to me nearly 10 years ago the narrator calls a summer Adventure in the countryside about a decade ago they set out to escape the heat of the city driving through the night in their red car after running out of petrol and Consulting a map they become lost in the countryside they encounter a beautiful girl named Mary who guides them to her unique village where the
