Outside the shop stands the old woman. I hesitate. Mother always said to never talk to strangers."NEVER talk someone you don't know Rachel, you just don't know. They could be a psycho killer for all you think! Mind you, never judge a book by its cover!" But, adventure was strong in me, so curiosity got the better of me, and I approached. The woman nodded. Did she know what I was going to ask? "Excuse me" I looked for the right words. " I was wondering if-" The woman went rigid. Had I offended her? She was taking quick breaths. Was she having a heart attack!? Then I realised. She was laughing! "You sure aren't like those other youngsters." The woman said. "Martha" the woman informed, holding out her hand. I smiled. She didn't seem to bad. "Rachel" I returned the greeting, shaking her hand. Martha was grinning. "You don't know how long I've waited for someone like you to ask."
"Ask?" I was so confused. "You knew I was going to ask about the -" Martha nodded. "No one knows about the billabong. But, if you listen, to the wind, the land, you can uncover many secrets." I was sorta creeped out. It was obvious that this was something you wouldn't hear everyday. "Come" Martha beckoned. Again, I hesitated. I didn't even know this person. Should I follow her. Martha didn't wait. She began to make her way down the hill where the reception sat. Not wanting to be left behind, I followed.
