STRANGE DISASTER

One-day in the days of winter sitting on the horse, Baa was talking to me and I; walking; don't know from where the ruler came just in front of our way. He accidently got pushed by the horse and fell straight into a wide open gutter. As soon as Baa looked at the ruler fell in the gutter, he gave an instruction to me to run back to house and kicked the horse by using feet to make him run as fast as possible. The faithful horse run up till his top speed. We both run in opposite directions. I looked back and saw that the ruler was in a terrible condition means he was covered in gutter water and what so ever it was. His clothes were fully ruined. I heard an angry voice of the ruler in distant "catch those bastards." And his bodyguards ran behind me and Baa. The anger that I heard in his voice was very fearful. It was like that he will kill us both as soon as he gets us. I was running to the east of market and baa was going to the west of market. As I reached a little further I saw a small army barricade. Almost of 10 feet wide and 12 feet tall. I kept running but stopped as soon the bodyguards called out to the soldiers standing by the barricade to catch me. Soldiers immediately shot towards me. I climbed the nearest house's roof and soon I saw myself leaping over one house to another and the soldiers running below the houses because they were not able to climb the house while they were wearing a heavy armor but the bodyguards were following me through the roof. I speeded up and attempted a huge leap over the house and into a haystack almost 4 feet high and almost that much wide to keep me hidden. I was sitting in the haystack curled up. The bodyguards jumped down from the house and started searching me and same did the soldiers. They didn't have any idea that I could hide in a haystack. At that time, I was only getting ready for my next attempt. To jump out of the haystack and jump on to the horse nearby when my searchers approach the haystack to find me there. But it didn't happen. I stayed there till night thinking about Baa. With some effort I peeked out of the haystack to see if my seekers are around. The bodyguards were nowhere to be seen but the soldiers were back on their posts; barricade. I stood up and stayed in crouched position at midnight with the fear of being caught. I took the same track on which I was running but this time I was crouched till I reached home. On my way to home I kept on looking back that is somebody following because I didn't want that any of the ruler's men find my house by following me. At last I reached home. Maa (my mother) was waiting in the house by the window. As soon as she saw me she ran towards the door and opened it. Baa was inside. Maa hugged me quickly and cried. She turned to Baa and said "from now onwards he will not go out." Baa agreed. I turned towards Baa and said "baa did they saw you coming home?" he nodded his head as a sign of negative.
