A door in the dark well.

 I looked at the paper for a while.  There is a picture drawn. I did not see any kind of writing.  I looked at the paper in surprise. I did not understand anything.

 Sujeet took the paper from my hand.  Then said, "You are holding this paper upside down. So you don't understand anything. Now look at this."

 That's why he gave us that piece of paper.  I paid close attention to it and became engrossed in it.  I started trying to understand the secret of that. The first time I held it upside down, I did not understand what was there?  I just realised that there are some strange scenes drawn randomly. But I was surprised to see this. I said to Sujeet, "Look Sujeet, do you understand something?"

 Sujeet also took a good look.  He said, "There is a deep pattern drawn here. But what is the deep place?"

 I said, "It can't be any kind of pond or river or any hole. Because it's not as big as a river or a pond. It's not even any kind of hole."

 So what is it?

 Yes, understood.

 What do you understand?

 It is a well.  Where there is no sign of water.  And it is surrounded by bricks. What is it?

 Which one?

 Here is the design of something like a door on the wall of the well.

 Sujeet also saw it well.

 Then said, "Isn't it like a door? It's a door."

 That means there are no secret rooms.  And there must be something valuable in that room.  Otherwise, why would someone build a house in such a place?

 You are right dear.  There must be some mystery there.  We have to find that place. But where is that well?

 I  know.

 "You know? How?"  Sujeet said in surprise.

 We found the well when we were looking for the secret of the crying sound.

 Where is the well?

 In the middle of the garden.

 So what?

 Yes. 

 So why are you late?  let's go there.

 On the way from there, I picked up that paper and put it in my pocket.  Then I left the room and went to the garden.

 Sujeet said, "We need to inform the rest of our friends about this. I don't know where they are wandering to find the treasure?"

 I will tell them too.  But not now. First we find the treasure, then we will tell.  If you tell me now, the commotion will die down. Better than that, we both go and see the mystery of that well.  And what is in that secret room?

 Finally, I crossed the random rows of trees in the garden and reached the side of the well.  The well is very deep with trees around it. Can't guess anything. I don't even know how deep that well is.  We were afraid. I don't know what danger is hidden inside that strange and mysterious well for us.

 There are stairs to go down to the bottom of the well.  First 8-9 steps are visible. The rest is not visible. We don't even know if there are stairs in invisible places.  Once you lose your footing, there's no telling which abyss you'll fall into. I do not understand how deep that well is.  Sujeet, Can you guess anything about the depth?

 No, I don't understand anything either.

 Although I know that my father-in-law will be angry with this behaviour, I said in between words, "You could have easily guessed the depth of that well."

 How?

 By throwing a stone into that well.

 Hearing my words, my father-in-law's forehead line deepened.  He said in surprise, "How can I know the depth by throwing a stone?"

 You can tell the depth of the well by the time it takes for the stone to reach it and the time it takes to hear the sound it makes.

 Wow, you say so beautifully!  Why didn't we think of this? For that one reason our fear was more.  Well whatever happened.

 Now back to the story.

 Ok.  Start speaking again.  What happened then?

 Then we both decided to go down to that well.  But before that we need light. It is very dangerous to go there without light.

 Sujeet, see if there is a stick around?

 Sujeet searched and brought a stick.  Getting the stick there was not that difficult.  Because there was a row of trees around.

 I took out my handkerchief from my pocket and wrapped it around the head of the stick.  Sujeet always had a lighter with him. I don't know why he always kept the lighter close to him.  I took the lighter from him and tried to light the fire on the stick. But there was a gentle breeze.  As a result, I failed to light the fire.

 I said to Sujeet, "It's windy here. That's why the fire is not burning. You have to go inside and try to light the fire."

 Well, let's go.

 Me first and Sujeet behind me.

 We slowly began to pass one step at a time.  Legs shaking with fear.
