asked. Altai replied, “Fine, but only until we reach Mongolia.”
Days passed, but there was no sign of any living thing. Finally they met the most common
animal of the Gobi Desert, The Bactrian Camel. They didn’t just meet one but a whole herd. Altai
hopped on a camel and his sister followed.
Then they rode until they met a human. His name was Batzorig and he told them that he
would lead them to Mongolia. They followed him and found themselves in Mongolia in no time.
But the problem was that they didn’t know how to get home. So Batzorig asked for their address,
which was: Peace Avenue, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. “Oh,” said the man. “This is near Kharkhorin
Market Place right?” “Yes,” replied Bayarmaa. The man drove them to that place and right to the
front gate. Bayarmaa and Altai’s parents came to the front door to greet them. Bayarmaa and
Altai thought they wouldn’t tell them about being lost in the desert, for this would be the biggest
secret between them, but it would be very hard to not tell anyone.
