My story is entitled "It's the thought that counts",there was a woman against the Germans within the country.


Once upon a time during the World War ,based on some sort of facts about the war there was a woman called Mary White a heroine who was against the Germans under Hitlers rule. Hitler was by then a German leader who ruled his country under military dictatorship.

Some people argued that Hitler was a rude and cruel leader at most times, he often kills and maims innocent civilians who want to attack him albeit that he was a soldier commander of the highest rank of General.

Due to this he was often called as General Hitler the first army commander and leader of the German soldiers by then.

At most times he often bombs an entire country with nuclear weapons during wars.

It was also noted that the heroine Mary White was a woman Aeroplane Pilot who often helped to win and fight against the Germans.

The woman Mary White was against General Hitler because she was a Pilot and does not like the nefarious attitude of General Hitler and the way and manner that he often bombs an entire country.

It was Mary White who helped in enacting Laws so that wars will be stopped in order for peace and tranquility to prevail.

Mary White was also a member of the Red cross society so she often helped in rescuing people on the battle field especially both the injured and maimed people by the help of helicopters and the Aeroplane.

It was Mary White who at one instance helped to rescue wounded french men and women who were innocent civilians on the battle field.

Also Mary White, the German Pilot was in France which was under the rule of Germany and she had almost rescued the French Patriot.


Again Mary White and her entourage escaped together in a German car overseas.

When rounding another bend Mary White stepped on the brakes with such force that they both flung forward in the vehicle.

There was a collision for right across the road making it impossible was a sloping pile of loose rocks ,where the car almost stopped on the edge of the gorge at one side of the road.

"Nom de Dieu! " gasped John.

Mary White the young heroine had got pale that was actually close.

There was a landslide at that moment.

Mary White also realised that there was Bad luck.

Others also realized that they were still less than a mile from the village and that they will be after them at all times.

As Mary White spoke in her English accent she quickly opened the door and then got out. Mary White then asked her colleagues, What shall we do about such issues.?

It was Mary White who pointed to the steeply sloping side of the hill.

That was the way and manner that we did things ,she said Mary White and her colleagues left the car at the premises where it got spoilt.

Absolutely No, they could possibly do better than at all times.

The car which Mary White and her colleagues were in had tyre marks due to that the car was always faulty.

They left the car , thinking that the Germans will think that they have gone over the edge of the gorge.


There should be enough time to possibly get things clear. It was Mary White who took off the brake and then stepped back quickly in the vehicle.

At that time ,the car rolled on for a moment and then it hung on the edge of the road and then it went over it.

Also Mary White saw it turning slowly then it somersaults as it fell down to the distant river at that time.

That was one of the German vehicles anyway she remarked. Come on, they started scrambling up the slope but before they had gone far they found themselves facing three other men who had rifles ready and were squatting in a depression.

The meeting of Mary White and her colleagues was so unexpected that they all stopped and then became speechless.

They also felt that their presence was not an accident at all, but they could not imagine what their intention could possibly be entirely.

Also they realized that it was one of the fierce looking men , unshaven youth who often broke the silence and his words told Mary White at once that they had not fallen among enemies.


It was noted that one must always keep their head down ,Madam said the men politely.

One can easily be seen and caught from the road.

Is someone there.? the young lady asked.

There was a gendarme on a bicycle which was coming that was the reply.


However, How the youth got to know Mary White was not imagined.

The lady saw him and made a signal to some sort of invisible person higher up the hill. Also with a shock she then realised something else that the actual landslide was even in a district where landslides were common was a mere accident.

Again ,Did you block the road ? she accused. The youth smiled faintly. Yes.

Mary White might have killed them.

The men also shrugged. Whenever you do take rides in German cars in the municipality you must expect to be killed ,Madam. This was due to the fact that there were a lot of cruel and Mafia people around that municipality.


Also Mary White then asked ,How were we to know.? We saw the German car around the village and knowing that it must go out again we laid a trap for it.

In addition the trap might not have come far this way. It was Mary White who pointed out that it might have gone out along the other road.

What was the difference.? asked the young man.

Both roads were blocked.


Finally, I realised that it was the thought that counts since Mary White was against the Germans and she helped in defeating the Germans in war attacks.
