Discribe a picture 2

In this picture I can see two people: a girl and a man. I think that the picture was taken in a nature reserve. There is a waterfall in the backgroud. The waterfall is fenced and surrounded by high trees. I suppose that it is summer because the trees are green and the poeple are dressed lightly.
The girl on the left is wearing a drak green T-shirt, light blue jeans, white sneakers and a straw hat. She has a black backpack. The girl is looking at the man and smiling, I suppouse that he is her father. The man is plum, he is wearing a beige T-shirt, blue jeans and dark boots. He is carryng a camera and taking a picture at the moment so I can't see his face. I think that these people really enjoy their travel and like nature.

In this picture I can see four young people: two men and two women. They are in the street and somebody is taking a photo of them. The peole look very funny and happy. The women are smilimg. The woman who is on the left has long curly fair hair. She is wearing a white coat and and a beige scarf. The other woman has long dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She is wearing a light blue coat and dark blue scarf. The man who is on the right has thick brown hair, he is the tallest person on the picture. He is dressed in a dark blue coat and he has long brown scarf that one of the women is holding in her arm. I can see only the face of the second man who is standing between the women. He has short dark hair.
I think that these people are friends and they are having good time together.

Orpheus and Eurydice

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a gifted musician. Orpheus was the son of Apollo and Calliope (one of the muses). It was no wonder that Orpheus was a gifted musician, with such talented musical parents. The truth is, Orpheus was more than gifted. His music was magical. When he played the lyre, as his father had taught him, his songs could cast spells and soothe savage beasts.

Orpheus fell in love with a nymph called Eurydice. They married and were very happy. Eurydice spent hours wandering and playing in the fields and woodlands. One day she trod on a deadly snake and died.Orpheus was so unhappy, he would not eat or drink and his friends thought that he must die. He took his lyre and went to the Underworld. He played his lyre and charmed Charon the ferry man into crossing the river Styx.

Orpheus begged his great uncle Hades to allow his wife to come back to earth as herself, not reborn as someone else. Ever a soft touch, Hades agreed. He had one condition. Hades agreed to let Eurydice follow her husband back to earth and life. But, during the trip, Orpheus had to promise not to look back until both he and his wife were safely back on earth.

Orpheus was worried. He was afraid that perhaps his wife might need his help - it was a very scary trip back to the surface. He worried that perhaps Hades would not send her after all. To reassure himself that all was fine, he risked a quick look behind him, and lost his wife forever.
