Chapter 4 - Bear!
I woke with cramps and pains. I was bleeding and had purple bruises everywhere. Feeling blank
and dazed all I can see is a brown wall. I tapped on the wall thinking it was a brown ger, a type
of hut. Suddenly part of the ger swung at me. I tried to dodge but was hit in the stomach. I found
out why I was in pain, cuts and bruises. I was thinking to myself can this living nightmare get
worse? The pain was unbelievable. The ger was really a huge bear.
The next thing I knew I was chased by a bear and her two cubs, hot on my tail. I finally lost
them by running into some wild onions fields and sweet scented bindweed. I hid behind a sand
dune. If she can’t smell me and find me, I thought. When I thought I was safe, I went to look for
saxaul plants to start a fire. The fire danced to the wind in the moonlight.
Chapter 5 - The Himalayas and the eighth wonder
I woke up feeling a warm touch. I could sense I was in a real ger now. I was surprised to see my
dad. I think I slept for very long. I ran away from the bear and arrived at the Himalayas. It was
too tall so I looked around and found a rectangular stone block. I picked it up and set it on the
foot of the mountain. Everyone nodded in unison and helped build steps to the peaks.
Chapter 6 - Year 3014
A thousand years later, people from all over the world come visit the Great Stairs. Scientists
still do not know what the symbols on the first block means. I secretly wrote ‘Lucan.’ But they
know that there was a hero that gave life to the vast lands of the Gobi. My decedents look at this
creation that is longer in height than the famous Great Wall. It is known as the stairs leading to
the heavens. People find it amazing that someone my age could have built this and cut the tip off
the Himalayas so and rain is aplenty in the Gobi desert. Now the great stairs attract more tourists
than any of the other Seven Wonders of the World.
