angry. Let’s go, maybe we can find an oasis soon.” said Mom.
Another troop of camels came by.”We mustn’t be fooled by that rotten Mr. Chan again! I’m
exploding!” said Dad.
“Wait! Those are real people! They aren’t Mr. Chan’s men.” said Mom calmly.
“Are you sure they aren’t Mr. Chan’s men?” Jake asked.
“Don’t worry. I’m sure of it.” Mom said confidently.
“Excuse me” Elma asked politely, “do you guys know how to get to an oasis?”
“Yes! Just follow us.” the man replied.
“We mustn’t follow them!” Jake foolishly cried out.
“If we follow them, we’ll die for sure!”, but the family ignored him. They just hopped on the
camels and went off. Indeed, there was an oasis, just in front of their eyes. Everybody rushed to
there for water, but the camels didn’t go. They just sat there and waited. “Come on, camels drink
some water! You must be very thirsty after having long walks.”Jake said kindly.
“Camels can travel long distance without any water.” Elma said.
At this time, Mom checked her watch. “Kids! It’s time to go home!” She shouted.
The family waved goodbye to their friends, but walking back to the airport was a hard work.
So they called the camels to ride them back.
Back in Hong Kong, Elma cried loudly, “Waaah!” I don’t want the trip to end! I want to add
this book a few more pages!”
Dad said, “Me too, but the author said no.”
“Ok, two choices. Go back to the Gobi Desert or stay at home and sleep?”asked Dad.
The family thought hard.
But the family didn’t choose to stay in the Gobi Desert.
“No, we weren’t staying. There is no place like home!”everybody said in the same time.
From now on , they had started a happy family.
