Gobi Desert Dinosaur Expedition 2014
Independent Schools Foundation Academy, Wing Hei Chan, Fiction: Group 1
T
his is a story about an exciting expedition that happened 216 years into the future!
Katada, Tom, and Joanne are best friends and famous scientists. They live on the
planet closest to the sun - Mercury. They share one big secret: they love dinosaurs!
One day when they came home after work, their favorite news program, the Daily
Universe News reported, “Wah-duh-doo-Gobi-gibi-Dasart-blah-pini-arth!” This is Mercurynese
for “Dinosaur fossil eggs have been found in the Gobi Desert on a close by planet called Earth!”
Katada was so excited that she ran to the phone to frantically punch in the telephone number
of her best friend on Earth, Ada.
“Hi! Is that you, Ada?!” said Katada. “Whoa! Hold your horses!” said Ada. Katada eagerly
asked “Can we go to Earth for an expedition? I want to find dinosaur eggs! I saw on the news that
some were found in the Gobi Desert!”
Katada, Tom and Joanne recruited fourteen more scientists to join the team. They were all
brave, brainy, adventurous and of course, CRAZY about DINOSAURS!
Katada and her team packed up their secret tools into their colorful space rocket. The team sat
down, buckled their seatbelts and counted down: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF!!!
The rocket landed very smoothly in Mongolia. The team took a super taxi with 18 seats (that
is not a normal taxi!) to the Gobi Desert. Because the taxi driver did not understand Mercurynese,
all 17 scientists began to repeat: “The Gibi Disert! The Gubi Desert! The Cubi Dasart!” The driver
finally understood the voices were shouting for the GOBI DESERT!
By the time they arrived, it was already midnight. They built their super powered solar
camping tents and slept well for eight hours.
When they woke up, there were six camels waiting outside their tent. Ada gave out maps to
the team and guided their camels towards the dinosaur eggs.
The team rode for a very tiring three hours and sixteen minutes and then Katada found a very
interesting pond of water: it was super glittery and looked magical. When they walked closer, the
pond disappeared! Katada felt curious and wanted to see what was under this magical pond.
The whole team started digging with their bare hands! Suddenly, Joanne found a round, oval
shaped sphere...”Was that an egg?!” she thought. She touched, smelled and looked carefully at
it, then screamed “EVERYONE LOOK OVER HERE! I FOUND A DINOSAUR EGG! It’s right in my
hands!”
The team of scientists was so happy that they got to see a real dinosaur egg in life and person!
The team of scientists was exhausted and it was time to go back to Mercury. They promised
Ada they will return to uncover more dinosaur eggs!
When the expedition team arrived back in Mercury, they became even more famous! Days
passed, months passed, years passed, the team of crazy scientists ended up going back to earth
183 times and found 214 more dinosaur eggs!
