Gilbert and the Spiritual Ghost (5/10)
(Continued from 4/10)
The wicked witch
by looking at the future glass
shut down her eyes
with much explanations
and whisper into his ears
silently-
she says, “It is ultimate danger
to cross the river
and the dark forest
to reach the spiritual ghost.
but, I will give you
this lucky charm. You keep it
on your neck
and all the evils will be
frightened of you.”
Choosing a shiny day
he started his journey
towards the dark forest
by taking a very few things
those were necessary he thought arrived.
He arrived at the riverside
to cross,
an one eyed helmsman was there,
as if he was waiting for Gilbert-
the one eyed helmsman said
in a very dull but deep voice,
“I don't take impure souls to cross
the river and since you are a pure soul
I will take you to the other side.”
Thus he started crossing the river.
