The Lost Money
AD & FD of Pok Oi Hospital Mrs Cheng Yam On School, Tang Sum Yin, Fiction: Group 2
O
nce upon a time, there was a girl who was caught by some wicked thieves. The girl was
called Mary and she was 20 years old. She had a husband who had passed away. Her
husband was called Daniel. Before Daniel died, he had put a lot of money in a place but
he didn’t tell Mary where the money. Only one of his friend knew where the money was.
The money was hid in the Gobi Desert.
When Mary wanted to find out his husband’s money, some wicked thieves caught her and asked
her for money. Mary told the thieves that she had no money. But the thieves didn’t believe her
because she was wearing a dress which was expensive even though it had already become dirty.
Mary felt scared so she told the truth to the thieves. The greedy thieves wanted to get the money so
they used a rope to tie Mary’s hands and forced her to find the money with them. Mary felt scared
and angry with the thieves but she didn’t have any weapons while the thieves had knives.
Mary and the thieves walked and walked for 5 days! When the thieves got some food or water,
they ate all and didn’t give any to Mary. Mary felt hungry, thirsty and she thought the thieves were
selfish and cruel. Mary thought, ‘If I pretend to die, they may feel I am not useful to them anymore.
So, they will let me go and give up to find Daniel’s money.’ Mary’s plan did work! The thieves left
her alone and gave up! She was glad about it and she continued her way to find the money.
On her way, she pretended to die for many times because she met many bad, selfish and
greedy people. Sometimes she met some lions, bears and something scary and ferocious. But she
didn’t give up and one day she found the money in a big hole of the desert. To her surprise, her
husband revived at the same time!
At last, they used the money to build a big and pretty house in the Gobi Desert. There they
had a new born little boy and girl! The whole family lived in the Gobi Desert happily together.
