“Lost in the field”

1. Before was not afraid to nature, however after be lost, I have him more respect for the

environment. My history begins…

I was with my friends at the mountain, during the Holy Week in 2012. The plan was

go at the mountain and see the waterfall near at the town. My friends and I walked 4 km to

the site. It was very early. Our goal was rest. We arrived at the mountain and descent at the

river. The way was very very complicated. The way had very large bushes and huge trees,

stones also dangerous. However the descent at the river was successful. The river was born of

the waterfall. Waterfall was the largest he had ever seen. The color of water of the waterfall

was beautified than the sky. The temperature was cool. The mountain kept secret in

profundity.

2. The problem was my fear. My friends not were. I was lost in the nature. I was lost in the

field. I was so fascinated by nature that distracted me and my friends did not know when we

returned to the village said.

I wanted to scream but could not. Fear was large and growing despair. My heart was

beating very strong. The way up did not know. I missed. My only thought was to find the

way back and stop being lost. The way was complicated than any other.

3. I was thinking when my friends were not already in place, I feel fear again. After walking

in despair, and after a little calm, appeared the way and can return with my friends. I have

wished return at the mountain, but not lose again.
