New Tales of the Gobi Desert
S.T.F.A. Ho Yat Tung Primary School, Chan Tsz Hong, Fiction: Group 2
Once upon a time, the Gobi Desert was a great place. People and animals lived there happily.
There were a lot of fairies too. There was fairy queen to rule the group of fairies.
One day, the queen was old and decided to choose a new queen. She invited the fairies to a
competition. They needed to break spells and have a flying broom race. A bad fairy wanted to rule
the world so she joined the competition.
The bad fairy passed all the spell breaking tests and she just needed to race with the left three
fairies. The two fairies had a crash and quit the race and there were only two fairies left. The bad
fairy could ride skillfully and she won but the queen decided to challenge her once more. The
queen wanted to ask her some questions.
‘Do you want all the fairies to obey you?’ asked the fairy queen.’ Yes!’ the bad fairy answered
excitedly. ‘Give your crown to me,’ the bad fairy ordered. The fairy queen squinted at the bad
fairy. ‘You are evil and greedy. I will not let you be the queen. I will let the first runner up be the
queen,’ said the queen fairy and everyone cheered. They had a party to celebrate. The bad fairy
was very angry.
After the party, the bad fairy changed all the fairies into camels and she made a sand storm to
cover Gobi. She decided to kill the queen fairy but they all died in the fight.
From then on, Gobi had no fairies and it became a big desert with camels. No one lived in the
Gobi Desert anymore. It became an empty desert with nothing.
