O
nce upon a time, two people wanted to get the treasure from the Gobi Desert. They called
Biff and Belly. But they didn’t know how to get it. One day, they saw a camel in the
forest. But camels should live in desert instead of forest. So that they followed the camel.
On the way, the camel disappeared. They thought it was amazing. Then they saw the
camel again and followed it. Suddenly, they saw a hole on the ground. Then, there was strong
wind pulling them into the hole. After that, they were ‘sent’ to the Gobi Desert!
When they came to Gobi Desert, they were very excited. Biff and Belly immediately found the
treasure. The weather was very bad. It was rainy and cold. It was also dark at the night time. They
ran to the middle of the desert.
There was a lion statue being made of stone on the ground. It was amazingly huge. Biff and
Belly were scared of it. It was the tutelary god of this desert. Then Biff talked to the statue, “We
want to get the treasure here.” The statue said, “If you two want to get the treasure, you should
count how many bits of sand here.” Belly said “Oh! How can we do it? There are too many bits of
sand here!” But the statue didn’t say anything after that.
Then they started to count the sand of this desert. In the meantime, they got tired and then
fell asleep. But they really wanted to get the treasure so they woke up again and didn’t give up.
Suddenly they fell into a big hole under the desert. There were a lot of rocks under the desert.
They walked really carefully to avoid falling down. Then, they found a piece of rock with a
special button on it. They pressed the button and the rock was opened. There was a box inside.
They picked a key beside it and there were a lot of treasure inside the box. They were surprised
and excited. Finally, the tutelary god took them back to the desert and they went back home with
the treasure. After all, they had a good life with their parents forever.
