darkness. Oyuun’s ear-piercing scream was as loud as a lion’s roar. Unfortunately, Erdene tripped
on a rock and fell in the deep and broad hole. She landed on something warm and soft. It felt like
she had just left her heart and stomach above the hole. Then she looked around to find Oyuun.
“Oyuun!” she called in panic. She heard someone quietly grouse.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? my sister just sat on me with her bony bottom, ” a hoarse voice
said, with sarcasm dripping in each word.
Erdene felt relieved. If Oyuun was being annoying she must be fine.
As she stood up and brushed the dust off. Just by the corner of her sharp eyes she could make
out a long, narrow path ahead of them. As she started dragging Oyuun down the spooky path she
heard a hiss. Suddenly something’s eyes opened. Before you knew the whole three metre path was
filled with green, slit-shaped eyes. It was a plate-tailed gecko! Erdene and Oyuun ran for their
lives. It was a coincidence they didn’t step on any.
While they ventured forward they realized they were in an ancient looking room made out of
rusty bones and were only standing on 40 centimetre track made out of bones which lead to the
magnificent wishing turquoise. Erdene’s mouth was hanging open so widely you could fit a whole
apple in it. Oyuun was in awe too but she regained consciousness before Erdene. So she closed
Erdene’s mouth for her, grabbed her hand and ran down the bony path with her twin sister. Little
did the twins know if they stepped on the wrong bone or fell off the side they wouldn’t survive.
Successfully they reached the beautiful wishing turquoise. As they held it together with both
hands the turquoise glowed and an ancient looking paper that had a spell written on it, popped
into Oyuun’s hand. She first read the spell in her head.
“We’ve got to pledge to the wise fish that we don’t desire the wishing turquoise,” whispered
Oyuun, “then we have to make a wish.”
Erdene whispered something to Oyuun. They both slowly nodded then started to grin. “Three,
two, one,” counted down Erdene.
“I don’t desire this mineral
I never ever will,
Then I can make a wish
and pledge to the wise fish,
That I don’t desire this mineral
I never even will
If I break this pledge
I’ll get hit by a sledge
But I don’t desire this mineral
I never even will,
I wish the wishing turquoise never existed.”
The twins finished saying the spell together.
Soon they discovered they were in England with their grandparents and parents.
