refreshing, cool water washed over me. Desperately, I drank fanatically until I was all ready to go.
I packed up and padded to the desert. My head tilted up in alarm as I hear a loud snort. Panic
shocked me. Just about 100 metres away, there was a bear. I’ve heard of these. My Uncle told me
about what lurks in the desert. He mentioned a bear just like a grizzly but it was called a Gobi
bear. A ferocious, 900 pound brute. The water must have washed off the dirty scent I was carrying.
Sweating profusely, I nervously squirmed in the shadow of the rocks. I got closer and closer to the
edge where I thought I was dead bait but luckily it galloped away before it noticed me just in time,
leaving footprints of its huge paw and its sharp claws. I really thought I was going to die.
After that I ambled for the desert, but what I didn’t know was that I was heading straight up a
colossal cliff. It was about noon and the heat swayed up. I hiked all the way till dusk. Hundreds of
stars appeared shimmering in the gloaming. I looked at the view, a truly appealing sky there was
tonight. Beautiful purple clouds. I decided to go to sleep early for tomorrow.
For a few days I travelled on, seeing not only fantastic nature but also beautiful memories.
Like the one time on the rocky cliffs I saw the ghost cat, a snow leopard in other words. I also
saw wolves and horses. I admired weird landscape and terrific views of the desert. I found food
by finding carcasses and lakes. It was almost like I belonged here, my home the Gobi. At night I
could always hear a cry, the desert’s cry.
One morning while I was hiking up on the cliffs I stopped to look at the view and in the
distance I couldn’t believe my eyes! I saw the majestic view of the Great Wall of China! I have
almost completed my journey! I merrily darted towards the Great Wall.
I finally made it to Beijing, China! My mission was not over yet. I swore to save people and create
human rights. That way everyone would live in peace and harmony. Well not only has the Gobi been
a terrific journey, but it has also stored great memories. I certainly saw the new tales of the Gobi
Desert, and what nature has for us. This has been a journey, a journey that I will never forget.
A couple of months later Gantulga Yemaun raised awareness to the whole world about human
rights, and soon helped create the human rights declaration. He became one of the world’s most
inspirational people. He died when he was 86 and forever went down in history for his courage
and triumph. He will never be forgotten.
