I was watching a horror film. Of course my mother told me that I would better not watch it but I didn't care about that. After the film I went to bed. I couldn't sleep but after one hour I was sleeping very deeply.

Suddenly it was a dark night. I was in a big, dark and scary forest. I was wearing plain, black and ragged dress. It was cold. I wanted to find the way out but it wasn't so easy. Every movement was painful. Whenever I wanted to move, all my body was freezing.

After about two hours of lying on wet, cold road I stood up. The feeling of pain stopped. I tried to make a step. I didn't feel anything. So I made another. I could move. I started to go. I was going along a dark, narrow path. Suddenly I realised that I was going round. I tried to go another way but I always ended at the same place. Suddenly I was freezing slowly, slowly and then....

.... I woke up and started to scream. My mother came to me and asked what happened. I told her that I had a terrible dream. Everything was like in that horror. After listening to me my mom said: 'If you had listened to my advice, none of this would happened.'

Killed in hell

Three thousands years ago in faraway land called Kurast there lived two unknown heroes – necromancer and paladin. They had many adventures and fought many duels. One day they saw a big, bad, bloody creature.

'Attack!' shouted paladin.

'No!' said necromancer and he used his black magic to build a tall wall from bones around the monster.

'Are you stupid my friend? We have to kill him!' said paladin.

'He is hurt! I cannot let you kill him!' said necromancer.

'Ok. Ok. I understand. Let's go!' said paladin.

After some time they saw the same creature, but suddenly it simply vanished. They decided to call that creature Baal.

'Let's find a cave, for it is going to rain,' said necromancer.

Ten minutes later they found a cave and fell asleep there. In the morning they woke up and noticed that they are not in cave, but in Hell. Suddenly Baal turned up.

'Aaaaaaaaaaa!' shouted necromancer like a woman.

Paladin took his white sword and than threw it exactly in heart of creature. It was a lethal blow.

'If you listened my advice, none of this would have happened,' he said.

Hidden chest.

Once upon the time, in a small cottage, there was a woman. Her name was Pandora. She lived in an old house with her grandfather. She was young and pretty, but unfortunately very curious.

One day, she was tiding up the dark basement. Suddenly she noticed something big. It was a large, dirty chest. There was a note at it: 'Do not open this chest, or you'll have BIG trouble'. Pandora, of course, couldn't hold opening it at bay. But it was empty! Girl was totally disgruntled.

The next day she got up. Everything was different! Her big, black cat was terribly fat. When she looked at the mirror she fainted. Her hair was green! She has put a cap on her head and went out. While she was walking through the cottage everything was changing. The trees were growing very fast. Birds were singing like pop stars. Flies were as big as dogs. One of them started too chase Pandora. She was running and running and she has finally hidden in a strange house.

She noticed another note on the door. It said: 'If you had listened to my advice, none of this would have happened.'

It was a sunny day when Jimmy and Robert were walking along the beach. There were no clouds in the sky, the sea was calm, the sun was shinning straight onto tourists' faces and the wind was softly hitting the beach. Those two guys needed holidays a lot. Being a musician can be very weary at times.

Unfortunately they didn't have much money and took the cheapest seaside holidays. They arrived to Kaliningrad District!

Jimmy and Robert were looking for some place to unpack and rest. Suddenly Robert said:

'Gosh! Why are all the beaches here so overflowing?'

'I don't know. Hmm, haven't you noticed that no one is swimming?' answered Jim.

'Probably water's cold. But I like cold water!' announced Rob happily

'Maybe.'

Suddenly, after many hours of marching, they found an unoccupied part of the beach. Robert couldn't abstain from the joy and ran into the water. Jimmy had many doubts. Then he shouted to Rob.

'Don't you think that water should be less green and shiny?'

'Why? The water is hot! Come on!'

'You'd better leave it before something happens!'

'I can't hear you! We'll talk later than!'

It didn't even take ten minutes while Rob jumped out from the water shouting loudly. He was fairly burned. Then Jimmy approached him with a smug smile on his face:

'If you had listened to my advice, none of this would have happened.'

When everybody sat down, it began. New school year was about to start. This was Mikes' third year in gymnasium. Last two years he passed below class average.

'You must learn now from the beginning, not at the end of the semester,' his mum Jane said.

Unfortunately as many of young teenagers, he thought he knew better, and he didn't study regularly. After few months the end of the first semester came.

'You didn't learn throughout the whole semester, so I will give you one for your final grade,' the teacher said, while he was closing the class register.

'Please, give me one more chance,' he cried. 'I will learn everything and write a test from whole material.'

'Ok, you have one week to study, then I will examine you,' the teacher answered.

The whole weekend Mike was studying geography, while his girlfriend and friends had fun in cinema and played computer games. He was throughout half of his work, when his mum entered the room.

'I will not learn all of that,' he cried. 'It is impossible!'

'So now you are studying,' she said. 'Better late then never but if you had listened to my advice, none of this would have happened.'

I was standing in front of a big temple. I've decided to investigate it three weeks ago, because I had heard about a treasure inside it earlier. My friend advised me not to do it, because he had heard that the temple was cursed, but I didn't care. I came in.

The temple seemed to be even bigger when I was inside. It was dark, but I had got a torch. In the center there was a statue of a god that I didn't know. I was looking for treasure, but I couldn't find anything.

Suddenly, I noticed a strange looking person. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that he was staring at me. I realized that he might be a ghost. I turned away and left the temple running.

The next day I found an article about an archeologist. He found the temple that I was investigating. I realized that the 'ghost' I saw was only that man. When I told everything to my friend, he couldn't believe me. Then he started laughing and said: 'If you had listened to my advise, none of this would have happened.'

A disobedient boy

When a few weeks ago grandfather asked Mike to go to Castorama store with him, Mike's mother was anxious. She knew her son very well, so she gave him advice not to play with everything he could touch in the store. Mike promised her mother he would behave appropriately.

The next day he got in an old grandfather's car and they went shopping. As Mike was walking slowly down between two long shelves with different tools he noticed a big green mechanic saw lying among them. He was sure that it couldn't work unplugged so he started to play with its metallic buttons. Suddenly the saw gave a terrible noise and began to destroy everything around. He was frightened and he wanted to run away but a huge, fat shop-assistant with an angry face appeared just in front of him. He left the store together with his grandfather half an hour later, after paying for all the damage which he had caused.

When embarrassed Mike arrived home and told his mother about the event she said 'If you had listened to my advice, none of this would have happened.'

One Sunday, in an amusement park, my friend, Tom and me spent our afternoon. 'What a great place to spend our time !' said Tom. 'Yesterday you said you were sick,' I riposted.

'I remember but I don't want to quarrel now' said Tom, 'Are you coming?' My best friend went to a very big rollercoaster which he was terribly impressed with. I was worried about him and I told him not to go. He was very obstinate and he didn't listen to my advice.

Tom sat on the chair and fastened the safety belt. After the rollercoaster started out, my friend felt sick. When the machine ran upside-down, he vomited. When the rollercoaster stopped, he ran out from it and shouted: 'Help, help!' I caught Tom and I led him to exit.

'What's wrong with you?,' I asked. 'I felt a big mess in my stomach,' he replied. 'I told you not to go there!' I said. 'It looked so exciting. It was stronger than me,' he riposted. ‘If you had listened to my advice, none of this would have happened,' I said.
