O
ne day, Dad and Mum called Ivan Kwok to go to Gobi Desert to broaden his mind and
knowledge. Because Ivan Kwok knew there was no water in the desert. He brought a
barrel of water with him. Then, he got on the aeroplane to the Gobi Desert.
Ivan Kwok waited quietly on the plane day after days, but not yet arrived. He fell
into sleep. Suddenly, a radio microphone surprised him and announced, “We have arrived at the
Gobi Desert.” So, he took up his barrel of water and got off the plane. However, he looked back
and found nobody here, even on the plane.
Ivan Kwok realized the weather of the Gobi Desert was very dry and windy. The sun was too
intense. He walked along the Gobi Desert and drank his water. A stone made him tripped over on
the sand. His barrel of water was upside down and he lost all of his water. Did the Gobi Desert
make a joke with Ivan Kwok?
Ivan Kwok felt thirsty. Suddenly, he saw a blue lake in front of him. Therefore, he jumped into
the lake and wanted to drink until he was filled up. However, his mouth was full of sand only.
OH! It was just a mirage.
After that, he met a giant. The giant was staring at the sky. Ivan Kwok asked, “What are you
worrying about?” The giant said, “I am counting how many stars there are in the sky, but I cannot
finish it. Can you do me a favour?” Ivan Kwok answered, “In the day time, there are not stars in
the sky. You can just do it at night.” The giant said, “Thanks for your help and now I give you an
aeroplane to go home.”
Ivan Kwok was excited to go back home by aeroplane. On his way back home, the alarm rang
out loudly, “Mayday, mayday, mayday.” Meanwhile, the aeroplane fell down from the sky. Ivan
Kwok’s head hit towards the window and hurt himself so much. At the same time, he heard his
mother’s voice and he woke up. It was just a nightmare.
