A Vacation with a Mission
Alliance Primary School, Kowloon Tong, Tsang Shun Hang, Fiction: Group 1
O
n a hot summer day, Sam opened his eyes. He just woke up from a restless sleep in
his home in San Francisco. He looked at the desk and remembered that he had to do a
school project about the Gobi Desert during summer vacation. He planned to explore
the Gobi Desert with his brother, Jacky. He rushed out of his bedroom and packed his
backpack. Jacky was waiting for him. They said goodbye to their parents and set off.
They sailed on a small boat and walked on the desert when they arrived. It was too hot and
they opened an umbrella. It was big. But there was a big problem. Their umbrella started to melt
because it was 50
o
C where they were standing. They were too hot and Jacky fainted. Sam was very
scared.
Fortunately, a camel was walking towards them. It told Sam that a powerful dragon,
Nimongeese would create a sandstorm to destroy the desert very soon. He wanted to conquer all
places and become the king of the world. At this moment, Jacky awoke. Sam told him about the
sandstorm. They ran very fast but it was too late. Nimongeese’s sandstorm was attacking the
desert. The sandstorm blew sand heavily against them and they could not see anything. When
they were almost buried by the sand, Sam screamed very loudly because he was afraid to die.
Suddenly, the sandstorm stopped and Nimongeese died. Sam saved the desert! All the animals in
the desert cheered and helped Sam and Jacky explore the desert.
After one month, Sam and Jack finished exploring the desert. Also, they found out the
weakness of Nimongeese. It could not bear loud noises. Then, they returned to their home. Sam
won a prize for the project. He was very happy. That night, he slept soundly and had a sweet
dream about the Gobi Desert.
