Tale Of Gobi
Immaculate Heart of Mary College, Lau Yan Tung, Fiction: Group 3
I am Bob. I am twenty years and I am now in the Gobi Desert with my sister. I rode a magic
cart to come here.
It all began five years ago. One day, when I was walking on the street, I saw an old woman
pushing a cart full of rubbish. What a pity to see an old woman, in her 70s, still working so hard
for a little bit of money she could earn. Stirred, disturbed and touched, I went to her to offer her
my helping hand.
‘Thanks for your help, young man,’ said the old woman kindly.
‘You are welcome,’ I said.
When we were walking, I turned my head around to see the traffic lights, and when I looked
at her again, she was gone! I quickly looked under the cart and everywhere, but I still couldn’t
find her, so I tried to use the cart myself. After trying it for a while, I finally knew how to use it.
I ran quickly with the cart and jumped on it. I was flying with the cart. As the old woman did not
show up again, I knew I am the new owner of this magic cart.
It was my fifth time to come here to do some research. It was really an unforgettable
experience the first time.
At that time, when I came to the desert with my sister to do some research, she suddenly said,
“Brother, I am thirsty; give me your water.”
“You should bring your own water bottle, this is a desert, not our home….”
“You are my elder brother, so you should bring mine too!”
When we were still arguing with each other, I heard some footsteps behind the trees; I stopped
and told her to be quiet. I whispered to her, “Do you hear some noises?”
She was so frightened after that. Then a shadow of a man was nearby and walking away, so
I used my vital sign detecting machine to follow that man. As I was following the man, I told my
sister, ‘Stay here and wait for me!’
A few hours later, I went to the front of a cave. The man must be inside, I thought. After a
several steps, the man was in front of me. I pointed at him with a gun and said, ‘Why are you
following us?’
“Your sister will be in danger. She will be kidnapped by a man called Robinson. You must be
careful,” he replied.
When I wanted to ask him more about the desert, he already ran away.
I ran to find my sister, but she was not there. There’s only a note on the sand. It said: ‘If you want
your sister to be alive, give me all the money that you have today at Lost Island. Mr. M. Robinson.’
I was really worried about her, so I quickly ran to Lost Island. I turned on my iPad to use an
electronic map to locate her. I found that Lost Island was really far away from here, so I took my
magic cart to fly to that place.
When I was crossing a mountain, there was too much smoke and I couldn’t see a thing.
Suddenly, some shadows came out. I looked at them closer them and I saw ugly giants! They were
tall and smelly. I quickly ran away from them.
After running, I finally got to Lost Island. Lost Island was really big and huge. I had to cross
the dark and spiky forest. Then I had to swim in the lake to go to a castle. Lastly, I had to climb
