Fact or Fiction?

Now there are 2 different stories. Beginning of the story is the same but at the end there are 2 fork of roads. Now, which one is true or false??

There was a young girl about 7 or 8 years old. She was visiting at her grandparent’s house. Her grandparent’s live in the country. There were only 4 houses in the neighborhood. She remembered how much a long, long drive on the dirt and rocky road is. She’s usually go to one neighborhood where another young girl who sometimes visits her grandparents, too. Unfortunately, she wasn’t there. It was spring and Easter time is coming. We arrived early before all other in the family come over.

One day, she was bored. She asked her parents’ permission to take a walk down to the deadened road and back to grandparents’ house by herself. Her mother said “Be Careful” in her serious voice. She disliked when her mother worried too much. She responded, “Mommy, I’ll be fine. I will be careful!” She ran off before her mother said anything. Everything was spring! There were flowers blooming and birds singing. She could smell a sweet fragrance. There was nobody around. The houses were seemed quiet as usual. She decided to tiptoe dancing around on the grass next to the dirt road. At the end of the road, there was forest. Mostly were pine trees. She pictured herself being off somewhere fantasy and someplace in enchanted. She knew that she had to go back before her mother get worried by her staying there at the end of the road too long. Finally, she walked back.

Out of the blue, there was a dark blue pickup truck drove by and stopped. The man moved from driver seat to passenger seat then open the door and came out. He had his map in his hands and opened them up to show her the map. He asked for a direction because he had lost. She made a choice to step backward, “I do not know the area because I am visiting my grandma.” He was being pushy and he stepped forward toward her and asking her if she can see the name of the road called “Haley Court Road.” She stepped backward; again, “I’m sorry, you are asking the wrong person, go to gas station.” She leaned back with uncertain and be alert toward to the man. She was wondering what was he is going to do next. She was unhappy when the man tried to come up to her third time. She stepped backward more farther than before. She lied, “I’m sorry this is my first time visiting at my grandma’s house and I do not know the area.” Man got frustrated and got in the truck and left. He was long gone. She arrived home safely and decided to stay in the house rest of the week. Only time she was willing to go out as long if there was one of the family member was outside.

ANOTHER folk of the road, what happen to her if she decided to lean forward?

Every trips and vacations, her father had showed her how to read map. She always enjoyed learning the direction and name of roads. Her father let her to be navigator on the road. It is the parents’ way to prevent from her daughter to get bored on the road trip.When the man arrived with the map, she leaned forward to the map and trying to find the Haley Court Road. Suddenly, the man grabbed her and jerked in the truck. He took off of her clothes and raped her. After he had done with her, he killed her. He dumped her about half mile and left. The man was never found.

So, which one is true or false… or is it both are true or is it both are false??? Please, feel free to explain why?

The answer will come...

Hmm, the story about the girl pretending not to know anything, must be true. The girl knew the man could be playing games, so she covered up and said, I don't know, it is my first time, etc. Looking forward to the answer!

Hey Jennifer,

You're right. How did you know that? Maybe I need to make my story more subtle so it would be challenging? Do you have suggestion?

Anyway, the first part of the story is true because it did happen to me. I did face the stranger and I lied to the stranger. That man is really bother me. I made my choice to back off and refuse to lean over.

Sometimes, I do wonder what would happen if I lean over. I knew that if he had took me then my life is over.
