Imagine you are walking along a long stretch of road. In the distance, the road looks like it is heading up an incline. On the right side and the left side of the road, there were tall trees and they blocked out the sun, so the place looked a little dark and gloomy. When you look at the trees on the left side of the road, you could see some bamboo trees. On the right side of the road before the trees, there was a small drain. You could hear water running through the drain. When you reach half of the way towards the end of the road, and you look back, all you could see in the distance are trees. I was the only person on the road, so I walked as fast as I could. While I was walking, a gentle breeze started blowing and the leaves on the trees started rustling. The breeze starting blowing stronger and the branches on the trees started to sway. Suddenly, I heard a cry and then moaning and groaning. My pores raised, so I started to run. The sound of the moaning and groaning was getting louder. When I got to the incline, I stood and took a deep breath. Then, I walked quickly to the top. I was surprised that the sun was shining brightly and many people were walking about. I saw one of my friends and I told her how scared I was because of what I heard. She started to laugh and I asked her why she was laughing. She said, “How come you forget that bamboo makes a groaning and moaning sound when it is blown by the wind? You forget that bamboo rubs together, and the friction makes it sound as though someone is crying.”
