The New Tale of Gobi Desert
Meng Tak Catholic School, Chan Herman, Fiction: Group 2
L
ong time ago, there was a treasure in the Gobi Desert. Many people wanted to take it
away. Jamie liked adventure so he wanted to find it out and looked what was inside.
Jamie was a clever boy. He had a strong desire to go to the Gobi Desert. During his
school summer holiday, he decided to search for the adventure in the Gobi Desert. He
discussed with his family about his plan but his parents worried about Jamie’s safety in that
remote place. Eventually, his parents let him go and Jamie promised to take care of himself. On
that night, Jamie packed his luggage and got ready for the departure the next morning.
Jamie woke up early the next morning and had a quick breakfast with his family before
leaving for the Gobi Desert.
Jamie’s dad drove him to the Gobi Desert. Unfortunately, while they were half way through
to the destination, the car broke down and was unable to go anymore. So Jamie needed to walk to
the destination. He said goodbye to his dad and left. Jamie walked until the evening and decided
to set a tent and had some food to eat in the strange place.
The next day, he ate some breakfast and continued his journey. Suddenly, a strong wind blew
and Jamie fell on the ground. His knees were hurt but he could still walk slowly. In a split second,
a dragon flew out from nowhere. Jamie was scared and he ran away. The dragon flew even faster
and stopped in front of Jamie. Jamie shouted for help. Suddenly, the dragon spoke to Jamie and
told him that it could help Jamie to get to the Gobi Desert safely. The dragon had no name. Jamie
realized that he couldn’t accept its help without rewarding it so he gave the dragon a name,
Timmy, as a gift. Jamie rode on Timmy and flew away.
After a-day journey, they arrived at the Gobi Desert. Jamie took out the map from his
backpack and read for a while. A moment later, Jamie found the exact location of the treasure
from the map and he believed that it would take a few hours to get there. Jamie then decided to
have lunch with Timmy before searching the treasure in the Gobi Desert.
After lunch, they carried on with the search. Eventually they got to the place where the
treasure was. Unluckily, a wicked person, Jim was here. Jim knew that Jamie and the dragon
wanted to take the treasure as well. In order to take the treasure safely, Jim shouted for help
from the monster he made, Bobby which could spray fire. Bobby sprayed fire toward both Jamie
and Timmy. Timmy made a storm by flapping its big pair of wings to blow off Bobby’s fire.
Unfortunately, Timmy’s storm also destroyed the treasure and nothing was left.
The treasure was gone!
Both Jim and Jamie couldn’t get the treasure. Jim was angry so he ordered Bobby to spray the
fire again. Accidentally, Jamie fell into the fire. Timmy flew into the fire and saved Jamie with his
wings. At last, Jim got away with Bobby and didn’t come back anymore.
Finally, Jamie brought Timmy back to home. Jamie made a house for it and they had thrilled
the day together.
