R
oy is a forty-one year old guy. Today he was on his way to Russia for a holiday.
Suddenly, the plane had an accident. It crashed into the middle of the desert.
Roy was the only survivor. He saw a sign which meant this desert is the Gobi. He
was scared and started his adventure to find his way out of the Gobi. He had three
bottles of water, some food and some other things. He knew that the trip might be hard but it
was the only way to get out.However, he would have lots of trouble. Would he see snowleopards,
camels or other animals? Could he escape this harsh desert?
On the first day, Roy walked along some small hills. After two hours, he was tired and he
went into a cave where it was cool to take a rest. Suddenly, something hit Roy. He looked around
but it was too dark. Then, he went out of the cave and found it was a camel. He rode on it for the
journey. The next day, it was the worst day of Roy’s life. First, when they went up the mountain,
a snow leopard came out and chased them. The camel ran as fast as it could. It ran for an hour
to get away. At that time, he saw an oasis. He was very happy and stayed there for the rest of the
day. At night, Roy found out that he only had a little food to eat and a little water left. Although
the oasis had some water, he might not be able to carry enough for the rest of journey. But it was
better than nothing.
The third day, he walked to a hill and saw a plane fly past. Roy shouted loudly. The pilots on
the plane saw him and told him to go north until he sees a tall gold tower. The pilots promised
that they would be back to pick him up, later. Roy smiled and followed their orders.
Roy walked and walked for a long time but he couldn’t see the tower so he started to lose
hope. He saw a tent with sheep and camels around it. He was happy and ran very quickly towards
the tent. When he got there, some Mongolians let him and his camel stay there.He thanked the
Mongolians.The Mongolians said that they had to find gold or dinosaur eggs every day. They also
ate sheep and drank their milk. When Roy heard that, he said “You guys have such a terrible life.
Can we not eat something more delicious?” The Mongolians replied “No, we can’t.” Then they told
Roy that they were too poor because they were only farmers. Roy felt very angry. He stomped
around the tent for the whole day. After that, he knew it was useless. If he wanted to live for
any longer, he needed food and water. Therefore he stayed there for two days and tried to find
water and food for the rest of the trip. When he left, he thanked the Mongolians for their kind
hospitality. The Mongolians said goodbye to Roy. Later, the sun shone very brightly. It was very
hot. He needed to find a shelter to take a rest but there wasn’t any trees at all. At this moment,
Roy started to cry. He felt very upset and hopeless. Suddenly he saw a tree in the distance. He was
very happy and sprinted towards it. He was happy because he could cool down. At night, it was
very cold. He needed to wear a coat and light a fire. Unfortunately, he could only find a sweater
but there was nothing to make some flames. He slept in a frozen tent.
The next day, Roy set off in the early morning and he walked for three hours. He noticed the
tip of the tower, in the distance. His hope returned.. He was happy so he climbed up and walked
again until he got there. He was too tired and fell on the sand.
When he woke up, he found he was inside the tower. There was food, drinks and a big bed.
He thought this was a dream but it was real. Roy felt joyful and ate until he couldn’t eat another
