L57-4: Back in theold country
The curious thingwas that the lake was not marked on the map. I felt as if I had stumbled into anightmare country, as you sometimes do in dreams.
And, as in anightmare, there was nobody in sight to help me. Fortunately for me, as I waswondering what to do next, there appeared on the horizon a man on horseback,riding in my direction. I waited till he came near, then I asked him the way toour old village. He said that there was now no village. I thought he must havemisunderstood me, so I repeated its name. This time he pointed to the lake. Thevillage no longer existed because it had been submerged, and all the valleytoo. The lake was not a natural one, but a man-made reservoir.
