nce upon a time, there were some deserts in the north of Inner Mongolia. No one dared
to go to those places. Ten years ago, there was a brave young man who was called Peter
Poon. He wanted to make a trip to go there and told the others what it looked like. He got
well-prepared and then set off to Inner Mongolia. He tried to learn more about the secret
place. In the market, he met an old man, who said that he was a wizard and told him not to be
confused by the mirage in the desert. Peter tried his best to keep in mind the old man’s warning
and he started his trip.
He entered the desert area and walked for a few days. He saw the beautiful scenes of the
desert at dawn and in the evening. After a week, the water he brought had been drunk off and
eventually he felt very thirsty. At that time, he was very tired and confused. Suddenly, he saw an
oasis not far away from him. He could see trees, grass and lakes. He forgot what the old man said,
so he ran towards the oasis, but he couldn’t reach it until he was exhausted and fainted.
After a very long time, Peter woke up. He noticed that he was in a tent and he was not thirsty
anymore. In fact, Peter was rescued by a camel trading team. The people brought him back to
a city in Inner Mongolia. At last, Peter went back home. The people asked him what he saw in
the desert. He just said, “I forget it, but I remember it is as big as a country. I couldn’t see the
end of the desert.” Actually, the desert which Peter described was the mysterious Gobi Desert. In
Mongolian language, Gobi means a desert. It is the biggest desert in Asia!
