New Tales of the Gobi Desert
SKH Yuen Chen Maun Chen Jubilee Primary School, Ng Ling Shan Matthew, Fiction: Group 2
O
n a sunny day, Jack was reading the newspaper. The news made Jack surprised.
“Last night, a wizard put a spell on the King. Only a special flower in Gobi Desert
called Bindweed can relieved the spell. Either the spell can be relieved in 24 hours or the
King would die. The person who can save the King will get $1000000 as a reward.”
“Let’s go to get the flower now!” said Jack.
Jack and Winnie just backed from the swimming class.
“No, I want to change my swimming suit first,” said Winnie.
“Oh, that’ll take too long,” said Jack.
“Don’t you want to save the King as soon as possible?” asked Jack.
“Of course.” said Winnie.
“Then come on! We have to come back before the morning comes!” said Jack.
They got on the jet immediately and set off to Gobi Desert to save the King. They got
changed on the jet and they arrived after a few minutes. When the door opened, hot air flushed.
Everywhere was sand and mountains.
“Can I help you?” said someone gently.
Suddenly, some things spoke. Winnie and Jack looked for everywhere but there was no sign of
the sound.
Winnie said, “Wow! You are so cute!”
Jack turned around, it is a Jerboa called Nicky. It has long ears and small round body. Soon
they became friends.
“We are looking for Bindweed to save our King. Can you tell us where it is?” begged Jack.
“My mum told me that is on a high mountain, but it had disappeared for years,” said Nicky. “I
promise to help you to find the Bindweed because you are kind and brave to save your King.”
The unbearably hot weather made the journey very difficult. On the way to mountain, Nicky told
them lots about the Gobi Desert. Suddenly, Winnie lost. There was a deep hole and she fell into it.
Jack fell beside her while he was looking for Winnie.
“Are you all right?” Nicky asked them.
“Yes,” Jack and Winnie said.
They both looked up. They were in a deep hole.
“I think the Asiatic Ibex can help!” Nicky shouted.
“Who’s that?” said Jack.
“Asiatic Ibex is a clever wild mountain goat,” Nicky said.
Nicky got the Asiatic Ibex’s help very soon.
“Help us! The pit is too deep to climb out of,” Jack said.
“No problem! Be calm.” said the Asiatic Ibex.
The Asiatic Ibex jumped into the hole. Jack and Winnie stay on it’s back and the Asiatic Ibex
climbed out from the hole easily.
“Thanks,” said Jack, standing.
The Asiatic Ibex had beard and long horns.
“Can you do me a favour?” said Winnie.
