own house. “Jerome! You have been asleep for two whole years! “ shouted his mother, Anne.
“Right …… there’s no time for any surprises, I have to leave…...NOW!”
With that, Jerome jumped out of bed, his body wasn’t aching anymore. He ran to the first clue
the voice had given him……. a forest. He searched the forest, but there was no a weapon. He called
for help, but then remembered he was not in a dream anymore. All of a sudden, the man sensed
his need, so he spoke again. ”Boy go to a forest that has a huge bird guarding the entrance. You
should recognise it because you killed it in your second dream! It has only grown much bigger……
good luck!” Jerome ran out of the forest and searched for the bird.
Crack! Jerome had stepped on a twig. He tried not to fall off the perilous slope. Happiness
came rushing into Jerome’s heart as he found the slope above was the secret forest. He sneaked
behind the huge bird and once the bird was out of Jerome’s sight, he ran for his life. He searched
behind bushes and trees, rocks and curved paths, but there was no sign of the spear. He was about
to give up when he suddenly saw a sparkle. Hope rushed back into Jerome. He sprinted towards it
and saw the spear. He was so pleased and dragged it out of its hiding place.
When he took it back home, he heard a faint cry of death and smiled. He had defeated the three
evil spirits. Jerome’s parents queried about what had happened and Jerome told them secretly.
Unfortunately, there was one more task that he needed to accomplish. The old man called
for him and they met in a cold desert. The old man told him that the three evil spirits died right
where Jerome was standing. Jerome then called the desert ‘ The Gobi Desert ‘ and it actually
meant- cold desert. It kept all the memories of Jerome’s life a secret, and the name is still known
today. When Jerome died, the secret still remained in the Gobi Desert, undiscovered.
