Bactria, you know what, that golden box was a time machine, it took you and me to different ages!
We have been brought back to some 800 years. We are now in Mongolian empire!.” My eyes widen
with disbelief! “My father is only 40, but this old man looked over 80 years old.” The old man did
not stop. He went on and said that the only way back was to find the key for the golden box.
I could not sleep that night. Thoughts of finding the golden box could not leave me. I decided
to step out of the yurt to look into the dark sky and think. Just then, I saw a falling star in the
dessert sky and another strange thing happen. The camel, who saved me walked up to me slowly.
“Bactria,” it gasped. “Bactria!” It shook it’s head and pushed me with it’s neck. I shook my head in
delight and wonder, “the camel can talk? That so unbelievable!”
That night, my camel told me legends about the golden box in Gobi. It said that golden box
belonged to a Mongol warrior. People believed the golden box had some kind of hidden power that
helped the warrior to win all the battles. But the hidden power could only be unlocked by a key.
It hit me at this point. “My grandfather! He left me a necklace with a symbol of crescent moon,
and that crescent moon looked exactly the same as the symbol on the golden box.” I thought, “my
necklace maybe the key.”
I examined my necklace carefully. I found a few characters craved on it. It read “gobi warrior.”
And immediately when I finished reading the two words, all the things inside the yurt started to
spin. I turned around and wanted to hold on to my camel. But it was too late, I was drifted away
by the golden box together with the old man. The old man held me in his arms and I saw his
beard disappearing. When everything stopped spinning, I was back in my room in Hong Kong
again, and I was in my father’s arms.
