O
nce upon a time, there was a man called Bertie Entwhistle. He was the most famous
writer in the whole wide world. His house was the biggest house in the world because
lots of people bought his books and he was very rich. He wrote many kinds of books,
like detective books and magical books. One day, he decided to go to Gobi Desert to
think about what to write in his next book.
The desert was very big and it seemed endless. It was full of sand. Everything started right,
until the third day of Bertie’s journey.
Bertie was sitting in his tent. Suddenly, the ground started to move, the sand flew up the blue
sky, and a big dragon came out from the sand. It looked like it was very hungry and it wanted to
eat Bertie up. Bertie pulled out a sword and fought with the dragon. But the dragon could fly up
the sky and breathe fire. The dragon landed on the ground and Bertie used the knife and killed
the dragon.
He thought that everything already finished, but he was wrong. The sand flew up to the blue
sky again. But this time, nothing came out from the sand, but the sand moved right to Bertie.
Then he noticed that it was a sandstorm! He kneeled down and closed his eyes shut. When the
sandstorm ended, Bertie’s body was almost all covered with sand. Even his throat was full was
sand! So he used a towel to wipe himself and cleared his throat a bit.
Then he saw a businessman that was tired and hungry and lay on the sand with cargo on
the camel next to him. Bertie gave some food and water and tried to help him. The business man
said,“You’re such a good man, let me give you a bottle of magic powder. You just need to say`Fly
magic powder,make my dream come true.’Then tell the powder your dream, and then it will make
your dreams come true.”After he said that, he disappeared.
Bertie then only saw his tent covered with sand. But he was too tired to walk back to his
tent.He looked at his hand, in his surprise, the magic powder that the businessman gave him
was still there! So he carefully pulled some of the powder out from the bottle. Then he said,“Fly,
magic powder, and make my dream come true. My dream is call a helicopter to save me.” On that
moment, a helicopter landed on the sand and workers came and pulled Bertie into the helicopter.
Then, he saw two blind people on the helicopter, and then he took the magic powder out from
his bag and said,
“Fly, magic powder, and make my dream come true. My dream is to make these two blind
people to see.”
Then the blind people could see at that moment. Then Bertie slept until he went back to his house.
The next day, Bertie went out from his house and saw a kid crying. He asked the kid “Why are
you crying?”
“I dropped my favourite teddy bear in the lake and I couldn’t get it back.” So Bertie took the
bottle of magic powder and said,“Fly, magic powder, and make my dream come true. My dream
is to make this little boy’s teddy bear come out of the lake. Then the teddy bear flew out from the
lake and dropped onto the ground. The boy thanked Bertie and ran away happily. After Bertie
went home, he started to write his new book, it was called “Magic Powder.” The story was about a
family going to Gobi Desert, but a creature came out from the sand and tried to eat them. Luckily,
