Tales of Gobi Desert
Sing Yin Secondary School, Au Ka Chun, Fiction: Group 4
O
nce upon a time in the autumn of a year, there was a forest and plateau together called
The Gobi Forest. The Gobi Desert was full of trees with wools on sticks in the forest and
green grass in plateau. Animals like monkeys, rabbits and birds were communicating
and playing with each other. Under the sun, there was mainly one colour – green.
Some days later, Susan, the Clothes Manufacturing Company’s boss, came to the forest on
her own.
“Wow! I feel like I am in a paradise now. Living with the colours of nature, I can find no
place better – for my business!” Susan exclaimed in glee. She smiled at the wool trees, planning
for the next steps. Animals surrounded her with candyfloss from trees as if they were asking her
to play together.
“Hello rabbits! You look so cute. Are you looking for something sweet? Here you are,” Susan
grinned at the rabbits. She threw soft candies to them. She started chopping down a tree with
an axe soon. Meanwhile, Gary, a native who led livestock out for grass, was shepherding the
livestock to the where Susan was.
Suddenly, a lightning strikes the grass around Susan after she chopped down a tree. A rabbit
with two curved long ears slowly flew down from the sky.
“Who are you?” Susan asked.
“My name is Gobby, and I’m the protector of the forest,” Gobby answered. “You, cruel human,
must leave the Gobi Forest now! You just chop down a valuable tree and you must leave now!
Don’t ever think of destroying our natural habitat!”
As Gobby shouted to Susan, Susan was scared but just requested him if she could stay without
cutting down trees, which is accepted then. She promised not to chop down any trees from then on.
Gary’s lots of livestock sooner came and ate a lot of grass. The same thing happens to him.
“Oh my goodness! How come there strikes twice a lightning! This is weird,” Gary murmured to
himself. “The grass is greener on the other side.” He then went to the other part of the forest.
On the next day, Susan used the wools she had got to make a wool clothes. She then went back
to the city to try to promote it. After a few days, nobody appreciated it and she went back. When
she was back, she found a person who came and bought the clothes.
A week later, a lot of people asked her for clothes and her family and workers came. Therefore
they were asked to wait and the workers were asked to get wools carefully from the trees without
chopping down.
“It is very exhausting climbing up and down to get wools from trees. It is more efficient to
just cut them down. The woods can be sold to logging companies,” the workers told Susan, leaving
her in doubts.
“Certainly,” Susan’s dad replied affirmatively as she was still struggling. Then she was the
only person in the house. She heard noises of electric saws, which made her mind chaotic. A
monkey was eating candyfloss on trees but then fell down from the chopped-down tree. Gobby
ran into Susan’s house.
“Why? Why can you do that? You break your promises! You eat your words! You’ll regret,”
screamed Gobby, obstructed by guardians. Susan took a glance at him. Feeling guilty, she drew
