The Rocky Cliff

I had no prior knowledge of the rocky cliff when my friend from Sisina Primary School shared his story. I could only feign interest as he narrated it, as there were countless such stories, both true and embellished. However, his words piqued my curiosity when he mentioned a bear descending to the river in the evening, then returning to a cave on that rocky cliff to quench its thirst. In that moment, my attention was captivated, and I began to wonder if this was a daily routine for the bear. If that were the case, I decided to observe the bear in the evening and abandoned my plans to visit the graveyard.

He also spoke about the bear hibernating in the cave and other details related to the cliff. But my sole intention was to see the bear in the evening. Suddenly, a chill wind, seemingly as fast as light, sent shivers down my spine. Despite the discomfort, I persisted in my vigil until darkness overcame my vision, and I saw no bear descending to the river.

On the other hand, during my wait for the bear, I took photographs of the cliff and noticed a peculiar feature in one of them—a face. I initially doubted my eyes but saw the same face in reality the next day. Perhaps others had also noticed it, but for me, it was as if I had seen it at first glance. I'm sharing it here because I observed a larger version of the face, and upon careful inspection, one can discern the faces of a father, mother, and child. These snapshots were taken from the perspective of Sisina Primary School.
