dragon announced, attention….please, this is a 10 day contest, which sleeps are disqualified, and I
thought “What …I cannot.
The instruction is: You have to press the buzzer on your table to give your answers otherwise
you cannot answer.
Then I remembered the twenty packets of coffee powder in my bag. I took two packets and
swallowed the powder to stay awake for 24hours. “YUCK”, it’s too bitter. I did the same everyday
for the next 9 days during the early morning break period because you cannot take a nap.
All the questions were about the Gobi desert. On the first ,S few days the questions were easy.
However ,the questions progressively became harder. We were tired and even the audience fell
asleep. The black dragon could not take it anymore “I give up”, said the Dragon and drifted to a
long tiresome sleep.
So I was crowned the winner , and the dragons hailed me as their new king.
I said, “I cannot be your king ,and need to go back to my world.”
But I can choose a capable king for you. Mmm... I forgot to ask the name of the Golden
Dragon. So I asked him. The golden dragon answered, “Nornia sir Knight.” I announced the
Golden Dragon as the new king and partied all night. The dragons gave a crown as a gift. I
requested them to keep the crown as a memory. Nornia said “SURE” and dropped me at my home.
I asked for a photo with Nornia. Both took a lot of photos. Nornia said “BYE” and left without
anyone’s notice. I remembered a question “Who are you?.The dragons heard and answered. We are
the dragons of the Gobi.
I went to the museum and met my friend professor Leo. I showed him the crown and pictures.
He was shocked but he displayed it at the museum and I was honoured by the mayor. I called it
“New Tales of the Gobi Desert.”
