The Olｄ Woman

by suela
(Brazil)

Many children used to make fun of the old woman. When she passed on the street, they laughed and said she had already died and didn’t know. The old woman always put up with that jokes, until that a bunch of vandals burned her hut down. It was too much for her, and the next days nobody saw her anymore. Five days later, she was found hanged up on a tree in the middle of the forest. Broken down for such injustice, people threatened to blow up the police station if nothing was made to punish the vandals.


Here is my edited version:

Many children used to make fun of the old woman.
When she passed on the street, they laughed and said she had already died and didn't know it.
The old woman always put up with their jokes, until one day a bunch of vandals burned her hut down.
It was too much for her, and the next days nobody saw her anymore. Five days later, she was found hanged up
on a tree in the middle of the forest. Broken down by such injustice, people threatened to blow up the police
station if nothing was done to punish the vandals.
