  On the final day of the war 

"The woman and her rifle"

    Back in 1848, there was a woman with her rifle. She was the most confident and fearless woman in town. She was the protector of women's rights in her town called "Fair village". 

                 

One night in town a woman named Mireya hears a voice, yelling for help. 

HELP! HELP!

And then the voice stops. Mireya with a sleepy face gets up in her bed trying to wake up. Something strange happens. She was completely sure that she heard something, but she was confused because the voice stopped. She stayed still to see if she could hear it again and then the cries of desperation came back again. And she left her room to the living room to try to address where the screams come from. She made sure that noise was not in her house and she went out. 

She was in shock, she could not believe what happened in the village. She saw a woman being beaten up, she tried to defend herself and she yelled at the man.

 

-Why are you doing that? She is a woman? Stopp

    The man completely ignores her and continues hurting the woman. She is trying to look for help and the other man in town did not do anything. They agreed with what was happening. She hears some man commenting.

"She asked for it by not doing what her husband told her to do" 

EXCUSE ME!! She yells at him. You are defending his action. What type of man you are. 

Mireya could not get help from the man in town, she was furious. She saw the woman's face and she ran back to her house. 

She says - If the man did not do anything, I will. 

She remembered something nostalgic. Her father died and gave her his most precious object. With that rifle, she learned how to use it and hunt. And she remembered his father's last words to her. 

"Use this arm to protect yourself and protect others" 

She ran and took the arm and came back to where the man was beating up his wife and she yelled.

 

I SAY STOP!

 The other man yelled that she had a gun. The man stopped just to tell her. I bet you that you don't know how to use it. She looks at him and says, Let me try them. and she shoots the gun. The bullet went past the man.

 

And she said oooh let me try again, this time I will do it right.

 The men were surprised how a woman knew how to use a gun. And who is she to use it against us?

Mireya looks at the man and says "I don't want a problem, I just am not going to let you kill this woman."

The man stops and whispers to the woman, "you won't get away with it."

Everybody left and the woman passed out. Mireya tried to take the woman to her house but could not because the woman was heavy. The other woman in the town saw that and went to help. They take her to Mireya's house. The women of the town were scared. They were scared that something like that happened to them. Mireya says to them if we support each other we will survive. Don't worry!!.
