Magic Carpet

One fine sunny Friday morning, I woke up early and got ready for the visit to the place that was completely new to me. The place I had never heard of. But I had to go there by hook or crook. So I checked my bike and with no further delays, I headed towards my destination. As it was early morning the road was very quiet and my bike started more speed. Soon I was out of the valley. I was enjoying the views along with the song playing on my iPod. Frankly speaking I was in love with the views around and even didn’t know that our country was this beautiful. As I was just 20 miles away from my destination I had to leave the highway and go up to steep hill. The steep hill looked quiet ok at the beginning but as I went more up the hill, I saw that the condition of road was getting bad. Moreover the weather was also getting bad; there were bad clouds all over. I knew that if it started to rain, the condition of road will be impossible to ride the bike. And to my bad luck it soon started raining slowly but I didn’t stop my bike. Rain soon started getting heavier and I was nearly wet. I was bound to stop my bike there and under the big tree. And it was looking impossible to reach my destination. Furthermore I knew that even it stops raining, the condition of the road will be very worse, which will make my journey impossible or very difficult. I was under the tree, playing with thoughts when suddenly my eyes struck to the big box nearby. I went closer to it and opened and when I opened it I was very surprised to find a carpet inside it. As it was raining heavily, I quickly went under the tree than I sat on carpet and I noticed that carpet was flying slowly. I was very frightened. And thundering made me more scared. Carpet was now moving very quickly in the air and my heartbeat was getting faster and faster. The climatic conditions were getting very worse and at last carpet was getting unbalanced. I was falling down; I knew I was dying for sure. My head banged with a big stone and I was awake. I was sweating a lot. Man!!! It was a bad dream. My body was shaking. I prayed to god, got freshen and headed towards my college.
