L48-2: The silent village
Taking a path which led out of the town,
we crossed a few fields until we came to adense wood.
We expected the path to end abruptly,
but we found that it traced its way through the trees.
We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream.
We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea how we could get across the stream.
Suddenly my wife spotted a boat mooredto the bank.
In it there was a boatman fast asleep.
We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side.
Though he was reluctant to do so at first,
we eventually persuaded him to take us.
The path led to a tiny village perched on the steep sides of a mountain.
The place consisted of a straggling unmade road which was lined on either side by small houses.
Even under a clear blue sky,
the village looked forbidding,
as all the houses were built of grey mud bricks.
The village seemed deserted,
the only sign of life being an ugly-looking black goat on a short length of rope tied to a tree in a field nearby.
