    (SHORT STORY)

    Me: And next, we will be discussing a short story that involves the forest. I want you to recount a personal story that has to do with the forest.

    Me: This was what people used to do at that time...?

    Grandma: Yes, and then I kept going despite being very scared. I continued my way to the field. 

    Me: You must've been truly frightened.

    Grandma: Certainly, snakes are frightening. 

    Me: Thank you very much for sharing the story with me and for answering my questions!

    Grandma: You're welcome!
