Hard Studies by Andrii Lysenko

It happened in one city
with a huge number of inhabitants. The city was closely near mountains, so many tourists continuously filled up budget of the city. Mountains were impressive big and fascinating from afar, so many people wanted to make several hiking tours at least, but there was the thing that everyone was freakedthe of most. There was only one trail to mountains from the city, and the path lay through the cavethat was called "Cave of Fear". There was great number of experienced tourists with equipment and weapon willing to conquer tops of the mountains, but no one had ever returned from the cave, and whenever anyone got lostand ended up there,the last that was heard was a great cry of terror. There also was am old legend that one day the monster would leave his shelter and come to the city to destroy it and kill all citizens. The city was rich, so no onedeparted from it, easier way was leaving gifts and foodregularly at the mouth of the cave, and these always soon disappeared.One day, a young man called Roman came to the city. His heart was burn by desire to enter the cave and confront the monster, because he heardabout the situation with this cave and he thought that people have full rights to have pleasure with mountain sights (this guy maybe studied law at NaUKMA). He asked his friends for help, but everyone was so afraid that not a single person approached the mouth of the cave with him. He went inside, finding his way with a Iphone flashlight,and calling out to the monster, willing to talk with it and discuss the situation and also politics, of course. At first, the monster had a good long laugh, and Roman followed the sound of the monster's voice.But then the monster went quiet, and our hero had to carry on, not knowing in which direction to go.After an hour of walking he finds the small ruined building that was similar to the second building ofNaUKMA University. On the third floor of the building he thought he could see the figure of the monster. As he approached it,he felt that something hit him hard on his back. It pushed him forward and he couldn't avoid felling down. Believing that he was about to die, he let out one last cry. "Damn it,I think the monster has swallowed me",he said, while falling in black and deep elevator mine.However, as he fell, he heard music, and voices. They got clearer,and when he made a soft landing at the bottom, he heard a group of people shout:"Surprise!"Hardly believing it, he found himself right in the middle of a big party, that was held on the successful completion of the autumn session. After that, Roman just woke up in his bed and went to the last the hardest exam with no fear inside, as he was studying carefully during all trimester.
