A Tale of Two Robbers
German Swiss International School, Chun Hei Ko, Fiction: Group 2
The Merchant and the Two Time Travellers
Long, long ago, in the year 1889 A.D. when there were no rivers in the Gobi, there was a merchant
walking in the Gobi with his camel. On the other side of the desert, a glowing door appeared and
two men stepped out. Their names were Frank and Benjamin. They came from the year 2116 A.D.
They rode on motorbikes through the sandy plains of the Gobi.
Frank and Benjamin’s Secret
Why were Frank and Benjamin in the desert? They were robbers who wanted to steal the ancient
treasures of the Gobi. Many robbers have gone to try but none had returned. As Frank and
Benjamin rode through the desert, they saw the merchant. Frank and Benjamin hid behind a sand
dune, jumped out and grabbed the merchant’s stuff. Then, they ran back, leapt on a shiny black
helicopter and speeded away.
The Kingdom of Coins and The King
The merchant was so shocked that he stood there for a minute or two, paralysed with fear. Then
he started to ride towards a nearby kingdom, The Kingdom of Coins. It was named the Kingdom
of Coins because it often rained coins. The coins came down from the sky like hail, smashing
anything that came in their way. After the ‘golden storm’ (that’s what people in the Kingdom
called it), everyone would rush out and start picking the coins. The golden storm came without

the King about the two sneaky robbers, the King collapsed into tears because the police could not
catch the robbers who kept stealing from them. The King told the merchant that the two robbers
had come almost every day, taking anything they could find.
The Police and The Chase
When the police heard about this, they decided that the robbers had gone too far, and they would
have to catch the robbers for once and for all. Having heard that, the robbers leaped on their
motorcycles and roared away, but they were so worried about getting caught that they forgot
about their shiny black helicopter.
When the police saw the robbers trying to escape, they hopped on the helicopter (which the
policemen found on the roof of the police station) and tried their very best to catch these two
tricky robbers. Somehow, they chased up with the robbers. As the police chief saw the robbers,
he jumped up in delight, then he landed on a button, the winch started to lower and hooked the
two robbers on their shirt. As the chief saw this, he jumped up again, but this time, in shock and
