Clauses

How difficult to believe all what happened is. The prince whom I took care of all my life ended up as the jester of the court. Before the whole problem occurred, he was absolutely fine. What happened was that one day he decided to go looking for a princess. The princess who he was looking for had to be beautiful, smart, generous, etc.

Since he left the castle, he went through many countries and met many princesses. But no one placed him. Even thought they were quite beautiful, they were all foolish, vain or spoiled. Then he heard about a princess he hadn’t met yet. A girl who was just perfect for prince. What people said was that she lived far from there, to the west, in the middle of a forest named as the forest of the lost souls.

Whether it was a good idea going there or not, I do not think so. The travel which he had to do was exhausting and long and the sun set down that day. But all what he did was as for him to find the princess. When he reached the forest where the girl lived, he saw a dark and thin path to follow going into the deep darkness. He decided to sleep in a little flatland which he thought it was confortable.

After the sunrise, the prince awoke slowly and full of energy to continue his searching. But when he awoke, he realized that he was no longer in the same place tan last night. This was completely different from where he was the night before. Now he was in the middle of a camp with his hands and feet fastened to four posts. He started asking for help to who could be there, but no one appeared.

After an hour the prince saw a shadow between the tents, moving quickly and without showing itself. The person or thing which was hidden behind a tent asked: “who are you? Why are you here? Don’t you know that nobody comes here and goes out that easily? At first the prince did not say anything and thought quietly the best answer for that, knowing his life may depend on it. What you want to know is certainly going to be said, but I have to know whom I am talking to. And the person who was hidden came out showing its impressively weird figure. Other one appeared from where the first one came and two more coming after. Within a minute there were a lot of them, everyone weirder than the other and each other as impressive as everyone. They were like kids, lower than a five year-old one, with three legs and having just the eyes where they were supposed to have the face.

The prince who was highly scared, tried to escape from them, but it was in vain. Almost two month spent the prince kidnaped in the camp. What he saw can be told jus by himself, nobody knows how he escaped.

There are some who say that he found the girl, but unfortunately she was just married. After a month of that he came back telling nonsensical stories as he became the jester of the court.

why do I write?

Since the beginning of writing, it has been the most useful element to communicate in the distance, in time, etc. through letters, essays, papers, newspapers, etc. In my own case I have hardly ever wrote a letter. But I used to write a lot when I was at high school. In any copybook and I not mean writing the information of the class, but all kind of things, most what I felt. It was quite easy for me writing about those kinds of things, maybe because they were just for me. Writing helped me to clarify my mind, to order my thoughts. However, I do not do so anymore, because some things like time or the fatigue of the day and specially because of having lots of others thing to do.

Of course it does not mean that I do not write at all. I have to write these blogs… that I really hate to do. I cannot find out other such a stressing thing than writing by obligation having even an amount of words to write. Even more when we have to include our personal opinion of things or personal things like stories, feelings and others. I mean NOBODY should oblige us to write personal things, that is why they have that name.
