The sun hung lazily in the sky and Alison smiled in relief. He looked around and drank in the scene around him. How she loved the sound of the birds singing around and flying softly overhead, as they began to venture onto the secret path. Young Amir had seen her in the distance and ran towards her, his face beaming with excitement as he held out his arms ready to embrace his new friend. Alison spread her arms and smiled happily as they both hugged each other gently. “You are back,” Amir stated happily. “And a new friend too,” Amir smiled as he bowed softly to Matthew. “My name is Matt,” Matthew smiled sympathetically and bowed his head politely. “A strange name, but fitting for you, kind sir,” Amir replied kindly. . “The father I mentioned has come to stay for a while. It seems very strange these last few days. It seems that has changed. He says he feels feelings he hasn't felt in a long time. A strange thing to say, don't you think so, dear girl? Amir asked Alison. “Yes, I agree, very strange. Please introduce him to me, he seems like a divine person to meet,” Alison said smiling. They continued until the building was in sight. Alison smiled when she saw the smoke coming out of the chimney and giving the old, dilapidated building a familiar look. Matthew was amazed by the forest; He too was shown the animals that Amir had saved and told the story of his evil sister. Matthew listened with interest and felt sorry for the boy, who seemed as lost as himself. Old Amir was sitting on a log. He had seen the two people with Amir and seemed agitated. He had not wanted to see anyone here and was not happy at the thought of his life being taken over by others. He stood up as his younger character... in the center of the card... was put into place, the animals appearing from time to time, the lake, the trees and the grave. It was Amir's whole life. The boy was just a part of it. There was no meaning in life; it was a secret to everyone except the two new people who had visited his special place. “Do you know the reason, sire? You have a desolate look in your eyes, I would like to know why,” young Amir asked harshly. “Very good, I will say that, but not here. I'll tell you about your life. Come, it may be the darkness, but I will tell you about the life you will live", promised old Amir. They both stood up and walked away from Alison and Matthew. Alison knew that what would be said would shock not only the boy, but also the older person sat watching the two Amirs walk out of sight, and hoped that this would ease each other's minds once and for all...
