ARE YOU SURE IT’S DIVINE TOUCH ? A WINTER ROAD

Marica goes alone in winter trough the mountains. There now is possible hiking only. All roads are impassable covered with ice. In addiction , it is snowing and foggy.

Marica is a young and brave woman. She decided to visit her grandma for Christmas. She dressed in long, dark coat with hood tied around a black shawl. After  wading , the road uphill Marica reaches the pass. She here stops and wonders which way to go next. Do she want to take a shortcut down the snow-coveredhiking trail ? Or it better would continue the walk a long, winding serpentine car road and then get on suburbanbus at the bottom ?

And then, surprised, Marica sees that the roadthat has come here is slowly being driven by a truck. The car stops and a man comes out of it.

The man says, almost crying, that he is fro other, lowland areas. Driving this way, was quided by the map. The road is terrible condiction, very dangeours. Now that the road leads down, driving is almost imposible…Marica confirms  that she know this roadis dangerous even n summer. But you have to keep driving until it gets dark.

The man asks Marica to go with him and she agrees. But Marica suggest: we will descent very slowly, sliding transwersely on the road. We jump out the car to avoid  falling into the abyss.

The both get into the car and start driving down the road for several kilometers. The man  complains and cries. Marica comfort him and tells what awaits them after every turn…

They manage to descend all  the way to nearest town, where the road is cleared of snow and sprinkled with a sand.

By road, there is a singpost informing that there is a restaurant nearby. The man stops car and suggest that Marica have dinner with him, he goes to see if it possible to get there.

At this point, Marica secretly gets out the car and runs to the nearest bus stop. She hidest behind the bus stop wall and laughs in her mind :

Let this guy think that he met a ghost that kept him from dying on the mountains !

And almost certainly this man that’s what thought and then told  others the story
