<Style>  Mysterious story

 

       When a man hunting from the morning,  I got lost in a deep forest.

He looked around, but there was nothing.

 

Man : Oh my god!   What shall I do !?　・・・Anyway let's look for something.

It’s getting very cold past all bearing, and dark.

 

  In a short time...

 

Man: Oh, I’m lucky! I found a house! ・・・But it looks crumbled (>_<)

　　　Someone may live in it.

 

　　　I knocked on the door.

 

Man: Excuse me. Does any one hear me? Excuse me! Excuse me!

　　　I lost my way. May I stay overnight? Excuse me!!（T_T）　

Mary: Just a moment please!

    

      Just then, a woman opened the door!

 

Mary: What happened?

Man: I’m lost. May I stay overnight? (T_T)

Mary: Yes, of course! Please come in.

Man: Oh, really!? Thank you very much!!
