Out of the woods walked an old woman carrying a spear. She spotted the old man sitting near the tree reading his book and sat down next to him and waited. After half an hour the old man noticed her and looked at her “How are you today?” he asked.
“Good”, she responded, “and you?”
He replied, “I think I found something new”.
The old woman stood up and walked to the lake shore “I see another village is gone, was that storm last night your doing?”
“Yes”, he replied, “I did it, I like peace and quiet while I study and they made an awful noise.”
The old woman walked back over to the forest edge “I’m going to go back to the old city and help those that have settled there, you should visit them sometime; I think you would find one of them interesting.” He responded “Possibly, when I have found what I’m looking for, or when I get bored of books.”
As the old woman walked away she said “You get bored of books? That couldn’t happen in a thousand years… sadly... that day should be coming very soon.” With that she vanished into the woods.
