A Girl Tied a Written Wish to a Flying Balloon, and When a Man From Another Country Found It, He Made It Come True

A Girl Tied a Written Wish to a Flying Balloon , and When a Man From Another Country Found It , He Made It Come True As we grow up and stop believing in Santa Claus , fairytales , and anything to do with magic , we also risk thinking that dreams are just a kid ’ s fantasy .
Children , with their innocent eyes and their view of a world that knows no limits between the real and the magical , teach us that kindness and love can make anything possible .
It all started when a balloon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thousands of kilometers away , like magic .
It was December when Amin Adzhiev , a farmer from Karachay-Cherkessia , casually looked up at the sky and , to his surprise , discovered that a strange white object was descending in his direction .
As he approached it , he saw that it was a balloon with a letter attached to it .
He wanted to read it , but it was in a language he did not understand .
The little he could discern was that it had been written by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bit unusual ( let ’ s be honest , not everyone happens to encounter a balloon with an illegible message attached to it ) , so he decided to ask his friends for help .
They shared the story on social media so that someone could translate the note and find out who the writer was and what she had written .
He discovered that the letter was written in German , that it was addressed to Santa Claus , and that it was signed by a girl named Sophia who , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The little girl , who lived in Austria , told Santa that she dreamed of getting a fairytale princess dress , a tent in the shape of a medieval castle , a scarf , and a hoverboard for Christmas .
She ended her note by asking for “ a lot of love for everyone so that people no longer argue so much.
” So he started a plan to fulfill Sophia ’ s wish .
Reading the little girl ’ s note , Amin decided to become her Santa Claus and started @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christmas .
But this noble and seemingly simple feat had some significant complications : they had to find out where Sophia lived and raise enough money to cover the costs .
And he had to do all of that before December 25 , so that the girl could get her gifts by Christmas .

As we grow up and stop believing in Santa Claus, fairytales, and anything to do with magic, we also risk thinking that dreams are just a kid’s fantasy. Children, with their innocent eyes and their view of a world that knows no limits between the real and the magical, teach us that kindness and love can make anything possible.
Bright Side believes that all dreams can come true. We bring you this beautiful story of a man who devised a plan to fulfill the wish of a girl from another country who he did not know, but who he wanted to make happy.
It all started when a balloon with a wish tied to it flew thousands of kilometers away, like magic.
It was December when Amin Adzhiev, a farmer from Karachay-Cherkessia, casually looked up at the sky and, to his surprise, discovered that a strange white object was descending in his direction. As he approached it, he saw that it was a balloon with a letter attached to it. He wanted to read it, but it was in a language he did not understand. The little he could discern was that it had been written by a little girl. The whole thing was a bit unusual (let’s be honest, not everyone happens to encounter a balloon with an illegible message attached to it), so he decided to ask his friends for help. They shared the story on social media so that someone could translate the note and find out who the writer was and what she had written. He discovered that the letter was written in German, that it was addressed to Santa Claus, and that it was signed by a girl named Sophia who, it seemed, was 9 years old. The little girl, who lived in Austria, told Santa that she dreamed of getting a fairytale princess dress, a tent in the shape of a medieval castle, a scarf, and a hoverboard for Christmas. She ended her note by asking for “a lot of love for everyone so that people no longer argue so much.”
So he started a plan to fulfill Sophia’s wish.
Reading the little girl’s note, Amin decided to become her Santa Claus and started a fundraiser to buy her gifts by Christmas. But this noble and seemingly simple feat had some significant complications: they had to find out where Sophia lived and raise enough money to cover the costs. And he had to do all of that before December 25, so that the girl could get her gifts by Christmas. “All my friends, from everywhere, including Moscow, quickly raised the money,” he said proudly. But they still had to figure out who she was, and not willing to give up, users of the network began an outstanding detective job. The fundamental clue to discovering her identity and whereabouts was on the balloon, which had a stamp from the Oberndorf Museum. Some people contacted this place, which informed them that the balloons had been released by children who had been given the task of writing requests for Christmas. So they obtained a list of the participants, found the names of Sophia’s parents, and set out to do the hard work.
A dream that transcended borders
Finally, they managed to get in touch with the girl’s family. It was a big surprise for Stefan, Sophia’s father, when one day he received a message in Russian on a social network. The note informed him that the balloon his daughter had launched just days ago had surprisingly arrived in another country, where unknown people had found it, and that they were more than willing to fulfill his daughter’s wish. It must have been a sensation very similar to the one Amin had when he first discovered that same balloon. Sophia’s family contributed to the cause by accepting the initiative with great joy. The little girl’s new Santa Claus was able to purchase and send her requests on time, and they even hired a Santa actor to bring her the gifts!
A dream that became very popular.
Both the Austrian and Russian media were very interested in covering the story of the little girl and the balloon of wishes. When she was interviewed, Sophia told local media that the experience had made her want to learn Russian. She also revealed that she would definitely send another balloon with Christmas wishes next year to see where it ends up. Who knows? If your wishes are fulfilled once, maybe it could happen again. This news transcended the borders of the 2 countries and became world news. Beyond the fact that a balloon managed to travel more than 1,450 miles without exploding, which is already a surprising fact that transcends all logic, history can show us that magic does, in fact, exist. Magic is not found in fairytales or in magic lamps, nor in Santa Claus, but is instead hidden in the kindness of people like those in this story, who came together from different parts of the world to make a little girl’s wish into reality.

This is paradise — beaches where beautiful flamingos will eat from your hands. They live in Aruba, which is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. By the way, the warmest month in Aruba is September. And the local flamingos don’t migrate here, they live here all year round and they feel quite safe near people, who always give them something tasty to eat.
2. Madeira Island, Portugal
The level of brightness and relaxation in Madeira is through the roof. Yet, every town has its own surprises. For example, in Porto Moniz, there are volcanic pools and an old fort with an aquarium. If you want to find out how the Portuguese lived in the 17th century, you can look at the comfortable houses with triangle roofs in Santana. And if you take a cable car to Funchal, you can visit the impressive tropical garden of the Monte Palace and slide down a hill in a sleigh. And if you want to see a spectacular view, you have to climb the highest peak of Madeira — Pico Ruivo.
3. Shah Cheragh Mosque, Iran
This shiny mausoleum was built in the 14th century during the reign of Queen Tashi Khatun. Shāh-é-Chérāgh is Persian for “King of the Light.” Ayatollah Dastghā’ib continuously saw light from a distance and decided to investigate and find out what the source was. He found that the light was coming from a grave. Inside, there was the body of a warrior in armor with a ring saying “The Pride belongs to God, Ahmad son of Musa.” Inside the mosque, everything shines with this amazing light. The walls are decorated with a mosaic of mirror glass, ornaments, and silver plates. And there is a pool with fountains and lights at the entrance.
4. Dune of Pilat in Aquitania, France
This giant natural masterpiece is Europe’s tallest sand dune. If you ever go to the south-west of France near Arcachon, you can enjoy the sea and be in the desert at the same time. Where did this dune come from? It is said that millions of years ago, the wind and water were eroding the Pyrenees, turning them into sand that the rivers would then take into the sea and the tides would return to the coast that was blocked by forests. So, inch by inch, the biggest dune in Europe appeared, which is about 2.7km in length from north to south and its height is around 106.60m above sea level.
5. “Bohemian Switzerland”
The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is located in the Czech Republic, on the border it shares with Germany. You will enter into a world of cliffs, stone arches with green forests, and transparent water reservoirs. And if you want to see a landscape that looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale, take a boat to the canyon on Elba.
6. Göbekli Tepe, Potbelly Hill, Turkey
Potbelly Hill was found in 1963, but the excavation didn’t start until 1995. Soon, researchers found other pillars with pictures of hogs, leopards, snakes, bulls, and cranes. Test results showed that this is one of the oldest temple complexes on the planet. So, Potbelly Hill appeared before the Neolithic Revolution when, according to scientists, people started stockbreeding, agriculture, and writing. Klaus Schmidt, an archaeologist, says that the patterns they found are not just pictures, they are messages from the people of that time.
7. Big Buddha, Lantau Island
Lantau Island is the greenest place in Hong Kong, with valleys, mountains, and waterfalls. There are also many picturesque trails for walking and riding bicycles, but the most important sight people want to see there is the 112-foot-tall Buddha in Ngong Ping. It is said that this statue is a special symbol of harmony between people, nature, and religion. The view from the top is impressive, and there is a beautiful temple inside. And also, Lantau has some of the purest beaches where you can walk and swim.
8. Sky Garden, Ireland
This installation was created by the famous concept artist, James Turrell. You can walk into the center of the crater through a tunnel, the idea is that people walk through a dark tunnel toward the light, as if they are being reborn. By the way, the crater is located on the Liss Ard Estate in Cork, Ireland, where there are gardens with walking trails and a big lake.
9. The prince, the ogress, and the mermaid, Thailand
These sculptures on Puek Tian Beach are a reference to the masterpiece epic poem Phra Aphai Mani by Sunthon Phu. Everyone in Thailand knows this legendary poem. It all started when a king sent his sons to study abroad where one of them mastered the martial art of sword fighting and the other one mastered the art playing the magic flute that can put anyone to sleep (or worse). When they returned, the king was angry with both of them for taking up studies in things that didn’t contribute to their skills to take over for him as a ruler, so he expelled both of them from the kingdom. An ogress, disguised as a beautiful maiden, kidnapped one of the princes and they got married and had a son. Once the prince figured out he was married to an ogress, he escaped with his son with the help of a mermaid family. The woman chased the mermaid and the prince. But then, the prince used the flute to put the ogress to sleep forever, after having a child together, he left the mermaid, and started traveling, meeting new women, getting married, and having new children. Sunthon Phu spent more than 20 years writing this poem about these events, finishing it in 1844.
10. Pink Mosque, Shiraz, Iran
The stained glass of the Nasir-ol-molk Mosque takes us back into a fairytale, having been built during the Qajar dynasty. It is often called the Pink Mosque because there are so many roses that cover the ceiling and the walls.
11. Jeju Island Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, South Korea
This dormant volcano is one of the most important natural sights in South Korea and you can see it from any point on the island. The last eruption happened in 1007. The territory around it is a national park with spectacular views.
12. Bologna, Italy
Bologna offers a lot of different kinds of experiences. It is the capital of science and cooking. You can find a romantic canal on expected places, the 13th or 14th largest European church San Petronio Basilica, the museum of toy soldiers Museo Nazionale Del Soldatino Mario Massaccesi, and also the obstetrics school in Palazzo Poggi where you can find wax figures showing the process of birth, in detail. And of course, the biggest sight in Bologna is the oldest university in Europe (it was opened in 1088) where Nicolaus Copernicus studied.
13. Hotel in wine barrels, the Netherlands
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like an Ancient Greek philosopher or you just love wine barrels, this is the right place for you. 12 huge barrels were brought here and turned into comfortable rooms with a view of the harbor and garden. Their cute hotel-restaurant De Vrouwe van Stavoren specializes in fish dishes.
14. The pools in the Hearst Castle, California, US
This amazing castle in California was built by William Randolph Hearst, an American newspaper publisher from the 20th century. He owned several beautiful libraries, an exotic zoo, guest houses, stables for Arabian stallions, a wine cellar, a medieval-style banquet hall, a runway for planes, and 2 pools. The open pool was called Neptune, and the closed one looks like Ancient Roman thermal baths.
15. The set of the comedy film Popeye with Robin Williams, Malta
More than 20 wooden constructions were built in Mellieħa, using logs from the Netherlands covered with tiles from Canada for shooting the film. When the movie was finished, the local people decided to use this as their chance and turned the set into a theme park. Then, they found funny actors, so the Popeye village would come to life.
16. Miracle Garden, Dubai
This might sound crazy, but the biggest flower park on Earth was created in an infertile desert. They were able to grow plants that never existed in the United Arab Emirates before. Special systems constructed for drip irrigation support the bright colors of the park. Another interesting fact that makes this place even more romantic is that it was first opened on Valentine’s Day.
17. Caño Cristales, Macarena, Colombia
The Caño Cristales River is a natural masterpiece. This “Crystal River” is famous for its amazing diversity of colors thanks to the different kinds of seaweed that grow there. It is also called the river of 5 colors. It also contains some incredible natural “Jacuzzis” — deep open holes where you can relax after a long walk.
18. National Library, Brazil
The Portuguese library in Rio de Janeiro was established in 1810. The interior of the hall was made in a mix between art nouveau and neoclassical style and the book collection takes up 3 floors. The full collection includes more than 9 million items.
19. Las Coloradas, Yucatan, Mexico
The view of the fishermen village, Las Coloradas, on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is fascinating. The azure waters of the gulf and the Rio Lagartos Lagunas combined with the pink lake and the contrast of the salt mining sites look like a bright patchwork quilt. The reason why this lake has these colors is that there are red plankton and Brine shrimp that create these special pigments. This region near the laguna was also designated as the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2004 since there are many different birds here, including flamingos.
Which of these places would you go to first if you could go right now?

Family life is not only about eternal love, understanding, and care, but it’s also about laughs, having fun, and playing jokes on each other. Just look at how non-subtly a pregnant wife can hint she wants to watch Deadpool 2 or a husband who replaced his baby’s ultrasound image with the one depicting xenomorph and you’ll learn that love borders on having fun.
We at Bright Side love it when people have an outstanding sense of humor, especially when it comes to love, so we collected a bunch of photos that depict family life from a funnier angle.
“When my wife had an ultrasound for our first child I took a photo of the print so she could show it to friends and family on WhatsApp. Instead, I sent her this xenomorph image and she shared it with everyone before realizing what it was.”
“My wife asked for ice cream. Her’s is beans. I am a terrible person!”
“My wife showed me this shadow bunny before going to sleep. Goodnight to me!”
The truth has been revealed!
“Finally found the perfect card for Mother’s Day...”
“My husband makes this for himself at least once a week.”
“I’m in the process of custom painting a keyboard for my husband’s birthday. Here’s the ’K’ keycap: Kirby!”
“Today my husband discovered it’s possible to tip back the reclining chair too far.”
“My husband and I don’t have kids, so we decided to have an Easter egg hunt for our dogs.”

16 Situations That Every Pet Owner Might Understand Every pet owner and their fluffy friend have their own rules and habits .
But that doesn ’ t really mean anything in awkward situations that are familiar to almost every cat or dog person .
Weird presents , ruined curtains , meaningless conversations , and an inability to work without being disturbed are on the list of things that most pet owners have to deal with .

Every pet owner and their fluffy friend have their own rules and habits. But that doesn’t really mean anything in awkward situations that are familiar to almost every cat or dog person. Weird presents, ruined curtains, meaningless conversations, and an inability to work without being disturbed are on the list of things that most pet owners have to deal with.
We at Bright Side are sure that without these cute quirks that both pets and their owners have, our life with animals would be way more boring.
“This is Franco. He stole my girlfriend’s heart, but I can’t really be mad at him.”
The first rule for any pet owner:
“My husband has been at home for a whole 3 days, and now, my dog acts like I don’t exist. What a traitor!”
“We have a difficult situation here. We found a stick on the street and refuse to go home without it.”
These questions are the perfect ground for a thesis:
The differences between cats and dogs, shown in a simple experiment:
“Can someone tell my dog that he’s not my boyfriend? Every time I get dressed and it’s time to leave, he tries to block the door like this:”
“I always close my bedroom door at night to keep my cat out of the room. Once, I didn’t notice that I didn’t close it completely. I woke up during the night because of some scary sounds, switched on my phone’s flashlight, and saw THIS:”
“Something is wrong with my bed.”
“I was going through old photos and found this gem.”
Animals have their own preferences:
“She panics when she can’t find her toy to give us as a present. Today, she found this. We aren’t even sure where it came from.”
“Did she just bring me a grape?”
“My husband bought our cat his own couch, and he just sits there and judges everyone now.”
“My husband sent me this, saying that our cat refuses to move, so his ear is now an ‘enter’ key.”
“Fact of the day: Cats are insanely clever and have truly unique camouflage skills.”


brightside--2020-05-11--5 Details About Famous Fairy Tales That May Even Surprise Adults

5 Details About Famous Fairy Tales That May Even Surprise Adults We rarely think about the true meaning of fairy tales we know .
But if you dig deeper into the story , you will see that Rapunzel is about unhappy love , Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs didn ’ t actually have a stepmother in the story , and Pinocchio was supposed to have a different ending .
And the deeper you go into a story , the more interesting it gets .
A lot of people remember and love the animated film about the princess locked in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she gets kidnapped by mother Gothel .
This tale wouldn ’ t be in this compilation if things were actually that simple .
Originally , the tale of Rapunzel wasn ’ t just a funny story : it served as a warning to women about the harm of having relationships before marriage .
In the original story , the prince would come to Rapunzel ’ s tower several nights in a row .
Sometime later , the girl notices that her dress becomes too tight and her belly grows day by day .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , cuts Rapunzel ’ s hair , and leaves her in the desert .
Rapunzel doesn ’ t give up , gives birth to twins , and lives alone .
The prince eventually finds her and the twins and they live happily ever after .
2 .
Snow White was taken to the forest by her own mother .
In the classic story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , her evil stepmother is jealous of her beauty so she takes her to the forest .
But in the first edition of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Snow White ’ s mother .
She tells Snow White to walk in the forest , collect some flowers , and then leaves her there .
According to a different version , the mother asked a servant to get rid of the annoying daughter .
Researchers think that the stepmother character appeared much later in order not to scare children so much .
Walt Disney changed the story .
In his cartoon , the gnomes had names and Snow White met the Prince before she fell asleep .
But in the original story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the kiss , she wakes up from a horse ride when the prince takes her to a resting place .
The Italian writer , Giovanni Francesco Straparola , is the author of Puss in Boots .
In his version , a little brother gets a cat after his mother dies .
In fact , it was a fairy that turned into a cat .
She helps the owner to get the estate of a lord that dies , win over the heart of the princess , and become king .
Later , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cat was just a cat without any magic powers .
4 .
Alexander Volkov didn ’ t steal the idea of The Wizard of Oz .
Some readers have noticed similarities between The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank and the story by Alexander Volkov .
So who stole the idea ?
Alexander Volkov was a math teacher for a long time until he decided to start studying the English language .
In order to practice , he started to translate Frank ’ s book .
The writer changed the story several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon his version became its own book .
And 20 years after publishing his first book , he wrote a sequel about Ellie .
5 .
Cinderella ’ s shoes were not made of glass .
Let ’ s talk about the shoes that were popularized by Walt Disney Studios .
In one of the first versions of the story , the Chinese Cinderella wears shoes made of golden threads .
In the Brothers Grimm version , she went to the ball 3 times and wore silk , silver , and golden shoes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shoes were made of diamonds .
Charles Perrault ’ s version says the shoes were made of glass .
But in most versions , the fairy gives Cinderella simple shoes .

We rarely think about the true meaning of fairy tales we know. But if you dig deeper into the story, you will see that Rapunzel is about unhappy love, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs didn’t actually have a stepmother in the story, and Pinocchio was supposed to have a different ending. And the deeper you go into a story, the more interesting it gets.
We at Bright Side are convinced that over time, one’s interest in fairy tales doesn’t become weaker, especially when you learn about curious details.
1. Rapunzel was a single mother.
A lot of people remember and love the animated film about the princess locked in a tower. In the movie, she gets kidnapped by mother Gothel. This tale wouldn’t be in this compilation if things were actually that simple. Originally, the tale of Rapunzel wasn’t just a funny story: it served as a warning to women about the harm of having relationships before marriage. In the original story, the prince would come to Rapunzel’s tower several nights in a row. Sometime later, the girl notices that her dress becomes too tight and her belly grows day by day. Her stepmother finds out about the pregnancy, cuts Rapunzel’s hair, and leaves her in the desert. Rapunzel doesn’t give up, gives birth to twins, and lives alone. The prince eventually finds her and the twins and they live happily ever after.
2. Snow White was taken to the forest by her own mother.
In the classic story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, her evil stepmother is jealous of her beauty so she takes her to the forest. But in the first edition of the story, the main villain was Snow White’s mother. She tells Snow White to walk in the forest, collect some flowers, and then leaves her there. According to a different version, the mother asked a servant to get rid of the annoying daughter. Researchers think that the stepmother character appeared much later in order not to scare children so much. Walt Disney changed the story. In his cartoon, the gnomes had names and Snow White met the Prince before she fell asleep. But in the original story, she doesn’t wake up from the kiss, she wakes up from a horse ride when the prince takes her to a resting place.
3. Puss in Boots wasn’t a cat...
The Italian writer, Giovanni Francesco Straparola, is the author of Puss in Boots. In his version, a little brother gets a cat after his mother dies. In fact, it was a fairy that turned into a cat. She helps the owner to get the estate of a lord that dies, win over the heart of the princess, and become king. Later, Charles Perrault changed the tale. The cat was just a cat without any magic powers.
4. Alexander Volkov didn’t steal the idea of The Wizard of Oz.
Some readers have noticed similarities between The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank and the story by Alexander Volkov. So who stole the idea? Alexander Volkov was a math teacher for a long time until he decided to start studying the English language. In order to practice, he started to translate Frank’s book. The writer changed the story several times, added new characters, and soon his version became its own book. And 20 years after publishing his first book, he wrote a sequel about Ellie.
5. Cinderella’s shoes were not made of glass.
Let’s talk about the shoes that were popularized by Walt Disney Studios. In one of the first versions of the story, the Chinese Cinderella wears shoes made of golden threads. In the Brothers Grimm version, she went to the ball 3 times and wore silk, silver, and golden shoes. In the Venice version, the shoes were made of diamonds. Charles Perrault’s version says the shoes were made of glass. But in most versions, the fairy gives Cinderella simple shoes.

We at Bright Side respect humble people who know that money is not their first priority and would love to share some celebrities with you who support this philosophy.
1. Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2015 and 2016 with annual earnings of $52 million and $46 million.

2. Keanu Reeves

He says that money is the last thing he thinks about: “I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries.” Even being popular worldwide and making millions hasn’t spoiled his character.

I connect with the ground, the trees, just breathing fresh air while I go for a walk and I find myself living in my heart instead of in my mind,” she says. Woodley tries to live a natural life and prefers natural products and makeup.

According to a survey, 37% of men and 32% of women kissed their partner in public “even before entering college.” This public display of affection, aka PDA, might feel good for the people in the relationship, but may create an awkward situation for most people who get caught unwillingly witnessing it.
We at Bright Side got to the bottom of what makes PDA so polarizing and why it’s better to leave it behind a closed door.
It makes the couple seem unlikable.
One piece of research tested how the public reacts to overly affectionate couples, both including PDA and things like sharing too many personal details about their relationship. In general, people thought that those couples seemed very much in love and happy, but were ultimately “perceived as unlikable and psychologically unhealthy.”
It’s not conveying the right message.
In one study, researchers wanted to get to the bottom of why some people feel the need to engage with their partners in front of others. Interestingly, “participants’ motivations included enhancing their image, causing jealousy or envy, or showing off the fact that they are in a relationship.” In addition, the study also shows that men reported a boost to their reputation as a result of PDA, while women felt the opposite.
It might also hurt some people.

Davis, a social psychologist at the University of South Carolina who has examined friendships and love relationships, says: ’’Affectionate behavior confronts some people with the unsettling reality that they are alone.’’
At the same time, David E. Klimek, a clinical psychologist who has written about intimacy and marriage, thinks our discomfort from watching PDA stems from our childhood: ’’Children will often get upset at the sight of mom and dad hugging and kissing. One will often see children turn away from this scene — or try to break it up — because it is highly charged, in the same way that many adults turn away when they see lovers kiss openly.’’

Psychologist Charles T. Hill explained that people might feel forced to become an audience to someone’s random make out session, and it’s a very uncomfortable feeling.

Bottom line is: be aware of your surroundings and circumstances.

I went to my relatives’ house for a sleepover. There are 7 people in the family, plus me and 2 other relatives. I went to sleep on the floor under the window. In the middle of the night, I felt something touch my shoulder. So I opened my eyes and I saw a dark figure step over everyone on the floor. This person went to the closet, looked through it, and put something into his bag. He was very quiet and careful. I was really scared. After a few minutes, the figure decided to leave. He stepped over everyone and got out through the window. Several seconds later, I woke everyone up. We called the police and 3 hours later, the thief was caught. The police said, “It’s good that you didn’t make a sound because he was armed and could’ve started shooting if he panicked.” © dda7 / Pikabu
