Nadia - a 16 year old, mirthful girl
who loved to play pranks on
everybody lived in the chilly, high
Himalayas. Once an incident took
place in her life which turned out to
be unforgettable for her.
It was a frosty morning. Nadia
gulped down her warm coffee,sip by
sip, as she sat down to watch today’s
news. She was amused to know that
an unusual, big footprint probably of
a Yeti was found in the Himalayas.
The exact location was quite far from
Nadia’s house but she was familiar with
that place. She was also sure that a
huge crowd must be waiting there for the
yeti to emerge or maybe just observing
the footprint to study about it. Well she
was absolutely right. Nadia then planned
to visit the place and scare away everyone
gathered there with her Yeti costume which
she had bought for a fancy dress competition
held at her school recently.(She was
one of those people who didn’t believe in
Yetis and all.) She reached the spot, fully
prepared, hidden behind a tall pine tree, but the
throng had already started to run and yell loudly
before Nadia had popped out in front of them. In
a few minutes all of them vanished. Nadia was
completely puzzled and confused. She didn’t realise
that an avalanche was rapidly coming down her way
and the public hastened fearing for their lives. When
Nadia noticed the avalanche, it was too late. She fainted
and was about to fall when just on time someone came
to the rescue and saved Nadia’s life. Here the question
arises: who was it? When Nadia opened her eyes she found
herself in the arms of a gigantic, white, hairy, ape like creature.
OMG! Yes you are right, it was a yeti. It first smiled looking at
Nadia and then suddenly dropped her and rushed to its hiding
spot. Nadia was totally shocked, speechless and frozen. She
pinched herself to check whether she was dreaming but no it just
hurted her because whatever happened was in reality. After all she
just wished if she could have got a chance to thank the yeti. She
then ran towards her home and when reached, she told the entire
story to her family members who first pretended to be astonished
and then laughed heartily. Poor Nadia there was no one who trusted
her. Even though now it's been years to the Yeti incident, and newer
sensations have taken its place, Nadia feels proud to remember what
a real Yeti looks like!
