A Gobi Secret
Independent Schools Foundation Academy, Valerie Kaitlyn Huang, Fiction: Group 1
O
n a sunny day, marbled polecat Sara was eager and delighted because she had a baby
called Victor. Sara and Victor were busy finding food. They collected beetles, little
hamsters, birds, grass and insects; and the food tasted delicious. The most evil snow
leopard Evian noticed them. Because he didn’t have a baby, he secretly wanted to steal
Victor. He thought of a plan: he would dress like a polecat and would wear an orange and black
spotted coat.
Evian ordered the dust storm to cover the air and make it dark so that he could sneak inside
Victor and Sara’s burrow. The dust storm was very cloudy, and there were lots of tiny rocks and
sand. Evian snuck into burrow. He was trying to find Victor. Victor was in the room getting
ready to sleep. When Sara went out to catch a lizard for a midnight snack, Evian quietly opened
the door and said to Victor, “Umm….Victor, I am your mum Sara! Can I bring you to catch food
with me?” Victor agreed, and as soon as he peeked out the door, Evian snatched him and took
him away.
The next day, Bactrian camel Humphrey, a friend of Sara’s, came to tell her that Victor had
been caught by the wicked snow leopard Evian. Because of his long eyelashes, Humphrey had
been able to see through the dust storm, so he knew who had stolen Victor. Sara got very worried,
so she went to Evian’s lair in the Altai Mountains to save baby Victor. She ran as fast as a rocket.
Victor was very terrified and shocked because he had been caught by Evian and the lair
looked dark. It also smelled stinky and smelly like rotten tofu. It was more horrifying when he
saw lots of poisonous snakes – Central Asian pit vipers – over there. There were even photos of
Evian the evil snow leopard.
Sara rushed up to the mountains and saw Evian’s lair. She felt tired and in pain after she had
climbed up the mountains. The mountain had felt rough underneath her paws. She crept inside the
lair. Because she was cousins with the skunks in North America, she could spray just like them.
She immediately used her smelly spray and made Evian faint. She even used her magic power, the
goyo plant, and she gave him the poison while he was asleep. When Evian woke up, his stomach
felt painful and he felt disgraceful. The goyo plant left a disgusting taste in Evian’s mouth.
Evian returned Victor back to Sara and apologized because he didn’t want Victor to grow up
and do the same thing. Sara also forgave Evian because she knew that Evian wouldn’t do that
again. At last, they became good friends.
