Unbelievable experience in a Himalaya village (英語投稿 シクレス村での信じられない経験)

 今回のブログでは、シクレス村(僕が二度ホームスティしたヒマラヤの村)に行ったときのことについて英語で作文を書きます。頑張って読んでみてください。英語の間違いもあると思いますが、気にしないでください。


  A few days ago, we went to a village called Sikles.  At 8 o’clock in the morning we arrived at the jeep station because the jeep was leaving at 8 o’clock. But our jeep didn't come. We waited for the jeep until 10 o’clock, and at last the jeep came. I thought it was the jeep but it wasn't. It was a truck!!    But still, we had to go to Sikles so we got on the truck.
 Usually the jeep arrives in Sikles in 4 hours, but it took 6 hours because the truck was so heavy. Surprisngly, there were 56 people on the truck.
 Finally, we arrived at Sikles at 4 P.M. We were so tired because of long journey by the truck. I didn’t want to move anymore and I never wanted to hear the word, truck.
   We did homestay at my friend’s house. They were so nice, so kind, and honest.
One hour after we arrived there, I felt like vomiting and I vomited three times. My father asked my friend,
“What will you do if you vomit?”
  He answered, “In our culture (he is Gurung), when we vomit we call one person who prays for you. Please wait.”
 After ten minutes, he came back with an old man. He asked my friend, “What is this child’s name?” My friend repeated my name many times. Then the man remembered my name. He started saying something including my name for a long time. First he prayed to the water and after he finished praying, I drank that water. Next he got wood and he put fire on that. Again he started pray with it. At last he said in Gurung language,
“Be betterrrrrrrrrrrr, Keishiiiiiiiiii.” And he left the house. I fell asleep as soon as he left.

 Next morning, when I woke up, I felt much better. I was very surprised and shouted to my father, “I am better now!!”
In my mind I repeated to say thank you, thank you to the old man who prayed for me. I think I recovered thanks to the old man.
