S.T.F.A. Ho Yat Tung Primary School, Kwok Chun Tat, Fiction: Group 2
O
nce upon a time, there was a town called Holily. It was a very big town and it was busy.
People in the town were very kind and helpful. They always helped each other.
But after 200 years, the citizens became proud and evil. They stole money, killed
people and always fought with each other. The gods, Zeus and Hades, saw them from the
sky. Hades said, “We must kill all the people in Holily together, brother Zeus.”
“No! You can’t. People are very important for earth. They can……” “Stop! Zeus, you are very
kind! Look, the people there are bad. They do lots of evil things! We must kill all of them!”
shouted Hades. “Hmmm…You are right, Hades. Let’s kill all the citizens in Holily,” replied Zeus.
Zeus and Hades then brought their weapons and went to Holily. Hades also brought his pet
sand dragon too. Then, they started there work- destroying Holily.
First, Hades used his magic to kill the people. Zeus was a bit scared because he saw the people
die terribly. Hades was happy as he was crazy. Zeus suddenly shouted, “Stop! Hades! Stop!” But
Hades did not. Then, he released his scary pet dragon - the sand dragon. The sand dragon was
very powerful and enormous. It blew a lot of sand from it’s mouth and the sand quickly covered
Holily and it became the famous Gobi Desert.
Zeus started to cry, “Why am I so stupid?”
Nowadays, when you walk along the Gobi Desert, you can still hear Zeus crying loudly.
