P
eter was a boy with red eyes. He had a special power. No one liked him. People thought
he was strange. He could only live in the Gobi Desert. He hated everybody since no one
wanted to be his friend.
One day, a man called Morris thought, ‘No one has tried to explore the Gobi Desert!
If I go there, I will be famous.’ Then, he found sixty people go with him. They bought one
hundred camels. They went to the Gobi Desert by aeroplane. When Peter knew some people were
coming to the desert, he decided to scare them. He ordered a giant spider to take them to the lava.
Peter thought he could to take
revenge and wipe them out, since no one liked him.
The Giant Spider ran into Morris’s group but they were not afraid of it. He forgot to bring a
sword but there was only sand and cacti. He ran to pick up a cactus. His teammates threw sand
into the giant spider’s eyes, so that the spider couldn’t see anything. Then, Peter used a cactus to
hit it. The giant spider cried out, ‘Stop! I know I’m wrong.’ Morris stopped attacking the spider. It
said thank you and ran away. Morris’s team won but Peter was angry.
It is hot in the Gobi Desert, so Morris’s team didn’t have enough water to drink. They needed
to find a pool to take some water. Peter knew they must go to the pool. He ordered a fish monster
when it saw them, to take them to see him.
At night, Morris put up the tent but they needed to sleep in the sand. It was not comfortable.
Morris ordered some teammates to find some food. There were no trees or plants. They couldn’t
find fruit. Suddenly, a snake attacked them. They had of an idea. They caught the snake. Morris
thought, ‘If there is a snake coming from the sand, sleeping on the sand is dangerous.’ He decided
to go away the next day.
The next day, Morris found a pool but he thought it strange because there was something
swimming in the water. Suddenly, a fish monster jumped out and cried, ‘If you want to take the
water from the pool, you must kill me first!’ The monster fish was strong. It caught them and put
them in its bag. Then it swam to Peter’s home.
When Peter saw them, he used his magic power to lock Morris’s team. He asked, ‘Why does
nobody want to be my friend? Why does everybody think I am trange?’ Morris replied, ‘You need
to be good! You can’t do bad things. I can be your friend!’ Peter knew he was wrong. They became
friends. No one thought he was strange after that.
