The little shed

I was walking through the bush on a cold and foggy day, when I see a light in the distance that I have never seen before. I always walk past this place looking at the old shed but this time there is light coming from the shed. So I sneak up closer and closer making sure no one is watching me and because it was a foggy day I couldn’t see that much. As I got closer to the shed I noticed a boat out on the lake and I couldn’t see match action on it. I grabbed my binoculars out of my backpack so I could have a closer look at the boat to make sure no one is on it.  Luckily no one is. So I sneaked up on to the shed deck and went to knock on the door. So I knocked and then quickly ran to hide behind the barrels sitting next to the door. As the door opened my body got nervous and all of a sudden a shadow came around the corner.This old guy came out through the door and walked on to the deck, he yelled out “hey who is there” and obviously I didn’t come out from my hiding spot. Several moments later the guy goes back into his little house and so I come out of my hiding spot. I stand on the deck wondering what to do. But then I realised that the old man might not have a friend or he could be lonely so I decided to knock on the door again but this time do not hide instead I will just stand there and say hi. So I slowly walk back up to the door and knock. All of a sudden the door opens and the old guy comes out and looks at me in shock. All I say is “hi”. We stand there for a while looking at each other until he says “do you want to come in and we can talk”. So I did. As I sat on the couch in his little house he walks over and says “what’s your name and why are you here”. I say “my name is Tom and I always walk past here when no light is on but then when I walked past today I saw a light so I wanted to know who was inside, also when I knocked the first time I went to hide just to see who lived here and the second time I knocked I had enough bravery to stay there and not hide. All he said was OK. An hour later I walked out of his little house with a big smile on my face because now I officially was his first friend and also I get to help him with his big project that I inspired him to do. As I walk home all I think about is how he was so lonely for so many years. Then next day I headed back to his house and started the new project. The project was that I get to help him fix his house because one of the reasons why he is lonely is because people have been to scared to walk past his house because it doesn’t look very friendly. So today and tomorrow, him and I are going to be painting, cleaning, gardening his whole property and making it look friendly again. Because I am sure it once was a friendly house.
