It was a beautiful and clear night. The weather was very warm and there was a smell of happiness outside. But I didn`t know what it would bring. My uncle was ill and we worried about him a lot. This night I came to him as usual. He smiled and was quite talkative. We had a good conversation. For my surprise he told me about his first love, I had never heard this story before. The name of his beloved was Margaret. They had known each other since childhood and they were always friends. Unfortunately, she died very early when she was only eighteen years old. My uncle was with Margaret at the moment of her death. She promised him to be with him when it would his end of life and she would make his death easier. If she hadn`t died then my uncle would have married her. But this was a sad story. As soon as he told me this story the doctor came and said that I had to go because my uncle needed to have rest. When I walked out of the house I saw a beautiful tall young lady with long gold hair and big blue eyes. She was smiling to me and said that everything would be all right with uncle now. But the next day my uncle died. After his funerals my mother showed me a photo of Margaret and I saw a girl whom I had seen on the day of my uncle`s death.
