It was at the dawn of last Saturday. We all students from grade ten, section A, came together in the school compound to pay a visit to Bonora Waterfalls. It is one of the tourist attraction sites located in Sidama Region in Bensa Woreda to the eastern direction of Daye town. It is one of the spectacular gifted areas that most people prefer to visit it especially on weekends. Before we had begun our journey, we discussed the precautions we should take during our journey. After we reached an agreement, we elected our leader and kept on our journey together with our guide. On our way to the falls are evergreen trees, birds of different varieties and a number of wild animals that grabbed our attention amazingly.

The journey took us about an hour. We did not like to use any sort of transportation due to the fact that we may not watch different natural beauties and appreciate if we sit into a vehicle. Moreover, we all had the belief that when we walk on foot, we will use the opportunity as a physical exercise that would contribute to our health improvement. Though the journey was long and tiresome, we all did not feel any sort of hunger or exhaustions as everyone was surprised by the beauty of the location and the jocks that some of our friends were making. Of course, there were few students who have been taking rest now and then especially in the middle of our journey. Most of us, however, were motivating and pleasing them to proceed the journey.

When we reached the place where the falls give special beauty, we all unbelievably forgot where we were. When the twin falls reach the ground, the special sound they create and the bubbles they form not only refresh one’s mind but also make someone as if she/ he were in another world. Our guide was telling us the place where the falls begin, the length they travel and the reason why it is named “Bonora Falls”. No one was listening to him as every one’s attention was drawn by the special sound that the falls produce along with the song of different birds in the area. Watching the falls and their surroundings, taking photographs and getting shower around the bank continued for about two hours. After observing the satisfaction of each visitor, our representative clapped his hands and asked us whether we were hungry or not.   Most of us expressed that we were in need of taking our lunch. Accordingly, the lunch that was prepared in a hotel was opened, soft drinks were distributed and then everyone ate their lunch up to their fill. At this time, what all of us could not forget was that everyone was wrapping the injera with wat with their fingers and putting it into the mouth of a friend. This means, there was no one who was eating the food with her/his own hands. This is one of the ways we Ethiopians express our love to others. After the lunch time is over, we took a short break and then our guide told us to start our journey since the sky was dark to shower heavy rain. Accordingly, we all tied up our shoes, looked at the falls with greedy eyes and departed.
