The legend behind
Good Hope Primary School cum Kindergarten, Li Wai Lam, Fiction: Group 2
I
took a flight to Mongolia with my friends, Natalie, Edward, Sabrina, Kelvin and Katie. They
didn’t seem to be excited at all as I forced them to go to the Gobi Desert. It wasn’t an ideal
place for them. They wanted to go to Paris. But Paris is too romantic for me.
The flight took us three hours. After eating those flight meals which made me wanted to
vomit, we finally arrived. “Wow!” said six of us at the same time, looking at the window.”That’s
beautiful! Isn’t it?” said Natalie. “I told you. You’re going to love this place so much!” I said.
Natalie poke out a silly face and stuck out her tongue at me. After we got off the plane, we got our
luggage and checked our passports. We could finally get out the airport. “So we’re not going to
live in hotels. Instead of hotels, we’re going to live in a yurt!” “I’ve booked a local bus to drive us
to the Gobi Desert. Let’s go now!” “Sure!” they said.
As we got onto the bus, strange things happened. The driver was gone but the bus was moving!
I rubbed my eyes to see if I was wrong. Then, the driver was here, humming a ballad. “Are you
okay?” asked Kelvin. “Yea, I guess. I’m just too tired.” He wrinkled his eyebrow and got his
attention back on his phone. The scenery passed by was amazing. Goats were eating grass. There
was a large piece of prairie. I captured this scenery immediately. I could smell grilling beefs in a
distance. It made me felt hungry. We’ll be arriving the Gobi Desert for just an hour. So I took a nap.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that all my friends were gone. I was shocked. I jumped off my
seat and saw that they were packing their belongings at the back of the bus. “Oh, you’re awoke?
We’re just packing our things. There’s a construction on the road in a few miles away. The bus
cannot move forward. So we can only walk there on foot.” said Sabrina. “Go pack your things!
Gobi Desert is just in a distance!” “I see.”I replied her vaguely. After packing our things, it’s time
for us to go. So we waved the driver and we went walking to Gobi Desert.
After lots of sweating and panting, Gobi Desert was just in front of our eyes! We were all
amazed by the momentum of it. We all took a deep breathe. Just in a distance, a woman waved
us. We walked towards her. She greeted us and pointed at the yurt that we were going to live in.
We went into the yurt and put our belongings inside. Mongolians were passionate. They did us
a Mongolian dance and cooked us some traditional Mongolian snacks when we arrived. “Why
don’t we take off our shoes and take a walk on the desert?” I suggested. “That’s a great idea!” said
Natalie. We took off our shoes and began to step on the sand. “It’s so smooth!” said Edward. “And
pure too!” added Katie. “Maybe you’ve chosen a good place, Belle.” said Katie to me. I smiled.
Time passed quickly, it’s already evening. Temperature began to drop and it’s frigid. We went
back into the yurt. We saw that hot dishes had been prepared for us. We looked at each other and
giggled. We ate all and it tasted delicious.”We better not to go outside now, there’s a sandstorm.”
I said. They nodded their heads. Outside was deserted. It was very tranquil. It felt creepy, too! We
chat with each other for an hour. “It’s boring, man! I want to sleep!” said Katie. And she fell onto
her bed. “Let’s sleep then.” I said.
When I opened my eyes, it’s already midnight. Natalie and Edward were gone! I peeped outside
and saw they were chanting. “They’re Buddhist? How come I never knew that?” I whispered to
myself. It seemed that the storm has stopped. So I went outside. “What are you guys doing? Come
back! It’s cold!” I muttered. “What are you doing here then?” I heard a voice behind me. It was
