The Legend of Mongolia
Harrow International Hong Kong, Abraham Yeung, Fiction: Group 1
O
nce in ages past lived a fierce and angry giant who had a hatred for the Mongols. His
entire life was full of the story of the invasion when every single baby giant died, as
well as the enormous, clumsy giants who were too slow to escape. He knew it was only
his parents’ group, teenagers at that time, who escaped safely. His fortunate parents told
about their quest for revenge when he was a teenager and he had never forgotten it.
Giantia, the home of the giants, was a land of lush forests, heavy rainfall, exotic flowers and
wonderful animals. It was a warm, sunny and magical place where the giants feasted, played and
lived happily. The Mongols renamed Giantia, Mongolia, when they conquered the land. This made
the escaped giants really angry with the Mongols and they decided to take revenge by changing
their beautiful and magnificent land into a place that the Mongols would find very unpleasant.
A secret plan was hatched with the Shaman Giant: Mongolia would lose its beautiful forests,
creatures and warm climate. First, a group of giants would allow themselves to be captured by the
Mongols. Second, the giants would drop some magic pebbles when they got to Mongolia. Finally,
the giants would chant a magic spell. All the giants trusted him even though they were afraid
so they did what Shaman Giant told them to do, but they failed because they got caught in a net!
Quickly, they used a pebble to make the net disappear and ran away.
They went to Shaman Shaman Giant to ask for help. He was unsure so they went to ask
Shaman Shaman Shaman Giant for help. He thought of firing pebbles into Mongolia and chanting
a magic spell but the Mongols had a 6km high wall so this plan was impossible.
The giants then went to ask King Giant for help, but he couldn’t think of a plan. The next stop
was More Important King Giant but he too couldn’t think of another way.
After an evening break, they went to ask Wizard Super for help but he said, “If you want
that to happen the whole world would become like Mongolia.” So the giants went to ask Most
Important King Giant but he also found the challenge too difficult.
The solution was proving hard. It exhausted the giants. Supreme King Giant was their final
hope. The giants felt very nervous as they asked his opinion.
He thought long and then said they must paint the pebbles so that the pebbles looked like
Easter eggs and lay these magic pebbles out to be seen while they hid in the grass quietly
chanting a magic spell. It worked!
Today Mongolia is a land of sand and grass. The water has disappeared and the climate is
bitterly cold. Today’s Mongols can only dream of the time their land was warm and sunny and life
was easy.
