time. But as a brave man should do, I hastily stood up and ready to shoot my gun. But as I was about to shoot the gun, there I saw a tall black shadow. The shadow held my gun downward and then within that moment it gave me a slap on the face suddenly, and my gun sprang to a short distance.
Of course, as I put all my hope only on this gun, so I ran to it at the same time. As I bent down and I was just trying to pick it up, the fearful shadow had come nearer to my back and as I was standing up. The shadow pushed me from back and I turned somersault suddenly several times within that moment. However, I hastily stood up with the gun in hand and it was that time I saw clearly who was ill-treating me like that. The shadow turned into a very tall old woman immediately I stood up. She was very strong and tall like a giantess, she was very rough in appearance, neither of her arms was very long and strong, and so every one of her feet was long and thick, the hair of her head was long, dirty and scattered roughly like that of a mad person and her both breasts were nearly touching the ground.
As I stood before her, my height hardly reached one-sixth of her height. But when I raised up my head just to ask from her why she had treated me so badly like that. I noticed thatshe franked both eyes, she was in excess anger and was murmuring with great annoyance. When I saw her in that fearful action, I could not ask anything from her again. So I simply stood before her and I was looking at her with fear.
After a while, when she started to push my nose with finger and was murmuring repeatedly: “What do you come to do in this forest by this hour! Have you ever seen a person like you to come here! You people will disturb us in the day and so in the night!” Then I was walking backward slowly but I did not turn my back towards her because it had just revealed to me that she was not a human being but a dangerous night creature. But as I was walking backward with fear, she was also walking slowly towards me and was still pushing my nose with her thick finger.
At last, when my nose was going to burst soon, I thought in mind that if I did not defend myself at that stage, the hideous night woman would kill me soon. Therefore, I struck her forehead with my gun instead to shoot it to her because I feared whether they were many and if the rest heard the sound of my gun might rush out to kill me.
To my surprise and fear, my gun was hardly struck her forehead when she said loudly: “Ah! ah! ah! you beat immortal night woman!” And then she stretched one hand to her right and rooted out one slender stick and without hesitation , she was beating me from head to feet repeatedly. As she was beating me and I was striking her head with my gun, it was so she was repeating: “Ah, immortal beat you this night and so you will die soon!” So it was that night I knew that immortal creatures were not to be beaten by human being.
At last, when I was quite sure that she was stronger than me and if she continued to beat me so severely for some minutes more, I would die. Then I left her to strike with the gun but I started to run away for my life in the darkness but yet, she was chasing me along and beating me with all herpower and so she was saying: “You are mortal, so you can die but I am immortal therefore, I cannot die!”
When I heard her saying so, I became more afraid and I ran to one mighty tree which was nearby. I hardly started to climb it along when she ran to it and continued to beat me but that did not prevent me to climb it along. She tried to pull me down but was late to do so because I had then climbed the tree far away. And as she stood at the bottom thinking what to do to bring me down to her, I had got to the top of the tree and sat on one of its branches and I was looking at her faintly at the bottom.
After she had failed in all her efforts to bring me down, then she went away. But when I had waited for some minutes and did not see her to
