The Dreamed Paradise

Ryan Simpson was a twelve year-old girl that lived with her family in a quiet neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Her family was formed by her mother, Lucy, her father, Robert and his brother of eleven years old called Julian.
Julian and Ryan attended “Kaplan International College” which was located 7 miles away from the Simpson’s house. It was an expensive school but they said that it was worth spending that money for their children.
The Simpson family had recently moved to the neighborhood so they didn´t know it very well.One day, Ryan and Julian were returning from school and nearly reaching home they saw a big forest and they decided to get inside and explore it.After a few minutes scanning the place they decided to stay and play for a while .As expected, they forgot about time and their parents were terribly concerned about the disappearance of their children because they were young and couldn´t take care of themselves. They began to search for them in the surroundings but it was useless, the children didn’t appeared.Fortunately, Julian and Ryan arrived home a few hours later.
The children’s parents were incensed by the event occurred so they decided to tell the kids not to do it anymore because they had been very scared for them.Julian and Ryan listened while their parents spoke but they couldn´t forget what they had seen.
The following day, they decided to return to the site to contemplate the paradise they had discovered.It was a vast paradise, with a waterfall that came directly from a river and was covered by herbage that seemed to be of the Caribbean.
Ryan wanted to share that beautiful place with their parents and Julian accepted.They went home and told them why they had disappeared the day before.Firstly, their parents didn´t believe them and the children decided to invite them to visit the paradise so they could believe their story. At the beggining, children didn´t find the place, and their parents started getting annoyed with them and wanted to return home.But Ryan and Julian insisted that they were not lying and begged they parents to trust them. After walking for a while they finally found the site. Simply, Ryan and Julian’s parents were surprised to be in that place and obviously they believed their children and they stayed there with them the rest of the day.
