New Tales of the Gobi Desert
Alliance Primary School, Kowloon Tong, Daniel Chau, Fiction: Group 2
I
t all started when our science teacher, Mr Chan told us about the project to make a model of
the Solar System. Bill and John my best friends were grouped with me.
After school, Bill and John invited me to their apartment to work on our project. When
we arrived, I found a small box on the floor. “Is this yours?” I asked John. “No, it’s not mine,”
he replied. “Why don’t we open it and see what’s in there?” Bill said, “Weren’t we supposed to do
our project? Mr Chan didn’t tell us anything to do about a box. “Yeah, it is better to continue on
our project than to investigate some box that won’t do us any good, w…” Before I could continue
my sentence the box opened and a strange green light shone out of it. A bolt of strong light was
what I saw before I fainted.
“You’re finally awake!” a man in front of me said. “How did I get here?” I asked. “I am one of
the scientists who are going to the Gobi Desert to study the camel that can only found here. The
Gobi camel. Suddenly, there was a great storm and we were swept away! After the storm stopped,
we found you and two other boys lying on the sand. Both of them are awake now.” “Two other
boys, then they must be my friends John and Bill! Where are they now?” I was very happy to see
John and Bill again. He said yes and showed me the way.
“Hey! You’re not John. Who are you?” I asked. I was very scared because I don’t want John
and Bill die here. “Hello, I’m Twam, and he’s Bon.” One of the boys introduced. “Why are your
names so strange?” I asked. “Come in,” Bon spoke silently “and then we will tell you why.”
I did as Bon told me to. “Actually, we are from Eble, the world beside yours. Eble is a city that
you humans would call a future city. Our technology is so good that you can basically do what
you want. One of our prisoners, Lox used a stolen spaceship to escape from the prison, wanting to
rule other galaxies. After many years, he finally found a planet called Earth that has life. He used
the box as a bait to lead you here and install a new brain to you to help him rule Earth because
the brain he wanted to give you could make you into an evil person who would endanger Earth.
Because you are children the police cannot arrest you. What kind of children can rob banks?
Human will eventually discover what is the purpose that he wanted to do that to you but it would
be too late. He kidnapped you but we tracked him down and saved you. Because of starvation, we
didn’t have time to do anything before we fainted.” Bon informed me.
“Are you kidding me? I know there are two possibilities, either you are lying, or there is really
someone who wants to rule the Earth. But by now I think you are lying.”
“I’ve known that earthlings don’t believe that what other people say. Fortunately, I’ve brought
my “Space Police” badge here. It represents my identity. You can look at it if you don’t believe me.”
Twam said.
I looked at it. It didn’t seem that it was a toy to fool me. So I believed him.
“Then do you both know where are my best friends John and Bill are?” I asked.
“Hmm… They should be at somewhere between Whales and Scotland. Although we are at
Asia, we certainly have a machine that can bring us to Scotland. But we cannot let the scientists
worry about us. We can only fake a sandstorm and escape tomorrow.” They said.
After a day and ten minutes, we were speeding to Scotland. “This is called a disk, or
spaceship, as you humans say.
