GR7 TO THE GOBI DESERT
Kowloon Junior School, Ivana Wong, Fiction: Group 2
O
ne spring in Atlanta, U.S.A, there was a spy who had to find out where there was gold in
the Gobi Desert. Her name was Clover and she was very clever and thought that nobody
could stop her. She loved to go on missions and she could defeat anyone she would wish
to. She had never failed in a mission before. But she was scared of wolves and wild cats
and they live in the Gobi Desert.
Limbo was her partner and he helped Clover when she got into trouble. But sometimes he
daydreamed, so Clover would get angry. They had a boss. His name was Thabo and he was very
strict. He shouted, “I found out that near the GOBI DESERT lives a stranger who can take you to
the gold!’’
Clover and Limbo started planning their trip. Clover said, “When we get to Dunhuang, on the
edge of the desert, we will meet the stranger, but first we must find out who he is. Then we will
see if he has a map.”
After that, Limbo Shouted “Stop! Where are we supposed to sleep? You want us to sleep on
the ground!”
“Of course not Clover replied, “Everything will be taken care of.”
When they finished planning they promised Thabo the boss that they were going to get the
tickets to go to Mongolia So, they called a taxi and inside it they discovered a TV controller.
Clover picked it up and whispered to Limbo, “What is this?”
Limbo whispered, “I don’t know!”
When the taxi driver heard them he said, “It’s a magic robot called GR7. It is very powerful.
Once, when I was little, I picked it up and I said “Chicka Boom Boom’ and it changed into a
robot. When it did that I needed to press on the control buttons. Then I said, “I want to go to the
America”, and there was a flash of pink smoke and it took me there! It was amazing, but it will
BOOM you down to the ground so you don’t need to go on the airplane.”
Clover and Limbo said, “Thank you very much!” and when they got to the airport they got out
of the taxi. They found a quiet spot in the car park. They held hands and shouted, “Chicka Chicka
boom boom! We want to go to Dunhuang.” The ground turned round and round. There was a flash
of pink smoke and they disappeared.
They landed with a bump on the floor of a beautiful hotel room! They were in Dunhuang!
Suddenly a door opened and a stranger walked out of the bathroom. “My name is Ho To Wo,”
he said. “I’ve got instructions and supplies for you. You have to follow exactly what I say or you
will not find what you are seeking. They listened carefully and arranged to meet him at midnight
near the town gate. After a rest they were ready and waiting when Ho To Wo arrived. “We will
ride these camels to the Yangguan Pass and into the Yadan National Park. There, close to a
particular group of large rock formations, I will show you where to dig for samples,” he told them.
They followed him through the darkness for a long, long time and finally came to the
strange rocks.
“Is this the place?” asked Clover.
“Yes. Start digging; you only have until daybreak to work before somebody may come past.
I’m going now, but you can come here every night until you get strike the gold. Good luck!” With
