New Tales of the Gobi Desert
S.T.F.A. Ho Yat Tung Primary School, Pong Hiu Yu, Fiction: Group 2
O
nce upon a time, a pair of good friends, Mary and Tom, were interested in the Gobi
Desert. So they went there to have a trip. They went there by horse. They were very
excited because it was their first time on a horse.
When Mary and Tom arrived at the Gobi Desert, they were very surprised. They
could not see any trees or animals. They just saw some little plants on the ground and sand. They
were thirsty but they had already drunk all their water. So they kept on riding on the horse and
they hoped that they could find some people and ask them for water and help.
On their way, they saw a young man walking through the sand. They asked him to give them
some water immediately. The young man said, ‘No problem! Let me bring you both to my home. My
home is in a noisy village. I think when you go there, you will be happy. Oops! I forget to introduce
myself. My name is Bobby. Nice to meet you!’ ‘Thank you, Uncle Bobby,’ said Mary and Tom.
When Bobby, Mary and Tom arrived at the village, they felt very amazed. It was just like a
busy market. There were some shops selling fruit, clothes and vegetables. At that moment, they
felt very hungry so Uncle Bobby brought them to a restaurant near his home. They ate a lot of
food, such as meat, streak, vegetables and chicken wings. They were full after the meal.
Then the next day, Uncle Bobby took Mary and Tom to visit his farm. But when they arrived
there, they could not see any cows working. Mary and Tom were shocked. They saw some camels
working hard on the farm. They asked Uncle Bobby, ‘Could we ride on camels?’ ‘Of course, but you
need to be careful.’ So they rode on the camels happily and played with them joyfully.
After this interesting trip, Mary and Tom thought that they had learnt a lot from the trip.
They wanted to visit the Gobi Desert again and again.
