My grandparents live in Japan.Every summer my parents would take me there on a holiday to visit them. They lived in a small village and had a big backyard.I loved to play there during the summer. When we arrived, my grandparents always welcomed me with open arms. I was there only grandchild, so they spoiled me.
The last time i saw them was in summer when i was eight years old.
As usual, my parents booked a flight to Japan and we drove from the airport to my grandparents house.They were excited to see me and had a lot of little presents to give me.My parents wanted to have some time for themselves so, after a few days, they took a trip to another part of Japan, leaving me in the care of my grandma and grandpa.
One day, I was playing out in the backyard. My grandparents were inside the house. It was a hot summer day and i lay down on the grass to rest a bit. I stared up at the clouds and enjoyed the soft rays of the sun and the gentle breeze on my face. Just as i was about to get up, I heard a strange sound.
"Po...Po...Po...Po...Po...Po...Po..."
I didn't know what is was and it was hard to figure out where it was coming from. It almost sounded like someone was making the sound themselves... as if they were just saying,"Po...Po...Po..." in a deep, masculine voice.
I was looking around, searching for the source of the noise when I suddenly noticed something laying on top of the tall hedges that enclosed the backyard. It was a straw hat. It wasn't resting onthe hedges, it was behind it. Thats where the sound was coming from.
"Po...Po...Po...Po...Po...Po...Po..."
Then, the hat began to move, as if someone was wearing it. The hat stopped at a small gap between the hedges and i could see a face peering through. It was a woman. But the hedges were high.... almost eight feet tall....

I was surprised at how tall the woman was. I wondered if she was wearing stilts or some sort of huge high heels. Then, a split second later, she walked off and the strange noise disappeared with her, slowly fading in the distance.
