After walking one thousand and one steps down, you will see a door with an exit sign. This time,
say the command, “Magic desert door, open for me!” The door will open for you immediately!”
“Remember, if you forgot the command, you will never get out of there!” said Dr. Max
seriously. “Good luck! I hope you can go back to the museum safely!”
We followed what Dr. Max said, but it was not as easy as we thought. The mountain is very
high and many camels were walking around us. The weather was really hot in the daytime and
cold at night. When we almost arrived at the top of the mountain, there were lots of cactuses
around the cherry tree. We cannot think of any ways to pick the three golden cherries.
This time, Miss Musurelli took her backpack off her shoulders. She took out a basket and stick.
She used the flexible stick to push the golden cherries down and used the flying basket to collect
the cherries when they dropped.
We thanked Miss Musurelli for her help. We walked down the other side of the mountain then
stomped on the arrow. The staircases appeared.
We entered the staircase and the entrance closed by itself. Cindy took out the cherries, all
fingers and thumbs. She dropped one on the ground and another was thrown up in the air. We
helped Cindy to get back the cherries and put them on our palms.
“We spent one day walking down the staircase and we have almost arrived that exit door.
Don’t give up!” said Cindy with faith.
On the way to the exit sign, we saw a talking camel and we all jumped out of our skin. The
camel introduced itself. It was Benny. It was kind and polite so we started chatting with each other.
We became friends with Benny and it helped us a lot. It carried us on its back and took us to
the exit. We thanked Benny and said goodbye. Benny disappeared from our sight.
We said “Magic desert door, open for me!” The door opened. We were too thrilled to be back
and we cried our eyes out!
We saw Dr. Max in the museum and we were very thankful for his advice. We also couldn’t
believe that we had come back by ourselves. We laughed happily in tears together.
