Where Do We Go From Here?

Hi kids!! long time no see!! A year or so I think it has been, but alas all that matters is that I am back, for now at least. Today we're going to learn about metaphors. Exciting isn't it. So here it goes, today I'm going to tell you the story of "The Two Travellers".

One day, a man and a woman decide to embark on a journey together. Excited as they were about what lay ahead, they walked on with much glee. After travelling along a straight path for a few hours, sunset began to set in. The woman looked back, wanting to see how much she's travelled thus far. In doing so however, she tripped over a stone and fell. The man who went into a reflex reaction trying to hold her back from falling failed, resulting in him falling down as well. He grumbled at her clumsiness, but he soon came to realise that she couldn't be blamed for wanting to look back at what they left behind. He got up and dusted himself clean, and then proceeded to help her get back on her feet. She felt a sharp pain in her foot as she tried. A sprained ankle. How convenient. He decided to carry her to shelter under a nearby tree, but all along the way she was moaning and groaning and demanded to be put down. So he placed her down, rather worryingly. So he asked "What do we do now?". And she replied asking him to move ahead first, and she will try to catch up later. She didn't want to be a burden to him, and she wanted him to be able to arrive at his destination. He said "We agreed to be travel companions, to keep each other company throughout, to stand by each other's side no matter the obstacles which lies ahead. Moreover, we decided on the destination together. What is the point of me arriving there by myself, while it is uncertain that you will even be safe here by yourself, or even able to catch up? I guess we'll just have to wait here till your ankle is better". With the darkness of the night creeping towards them, and with his compass broken, he too wasn't sure of the way as well. They will have to wait for the sun to come up again, as well as her ankle to heal.
