iss Cheng and I went to the Gobi Desert last weekend. We were feeling happy about
our trip. I had always wanted to take a ride on a camel. We arrived by plane after a
one hour flight. The Gobi Desert was fun! I couldn’t believe how hot and dry the air
was. It was the most amazing sight I had ever seen. Suddenly, I saw a humongous
snake. It bit me on my leg and I tripped over a rock and fell on a cactus. It was very painful. I was
very afraid of the snake too. I put some band-aids on my wounds. I felt sad because I had fallen
on a cactus but I wasn’t going to let it ruin my trip. And so I set off, ready to begin my amazing
adventure into the Gobi desert.
I was crying for over an hour in the middle is the desert because I was so afraid a snake
would bite me, when all of a sudden, a big school appeared in front of me. I was very surprised!
It was the most wonderful school I had ever seen. It had six floors and was made completely
from tasty chocolate. I was very excited. My heart was beating very fast as I moved closer to the
school. I couldn’t wait to see if there were any teachers inside. I started to run towards the school
to taste the chocolate. It was delicious! I walked into the school to look around. I saw the teachers
were also made of chocolate. Something was strange. None of the teachers could talk.
Just when I was about to start my long journey home, the most amazing thing happened.
The chocolate teachers started to give me homework. I was so angry because the homework was
for kindergarteners and I was on holiday. However, to my surprise, the homework was made of
chocolate. I decided I didn’t want to do kindergarten homework, even if it was made of chocolate,
so I started to run away. The teachers started to chase me and so I hid behind a dune. I thought
the teachers were going to find me for sure and drag me back to the classroom, but they didn’t
catch me. They melted. I was safe at last.
