Fiction: Group 5
Swimming to Macau
Korean International Springboard Programme, Lin, Adrian - 9, Fiction: Group 5
ne day over the Easter holidays, a boy called Adrian had to go to Macau for his friend, Ella’s
dress-up birthday Party. On Good Friday, Adrian, mum and dad went to the pier in Sheung Wan
and bought three Hong Kong-to-Macau tickets. They took the 12 o’clock ferry. While they
were eating plain rice with fried chicken and vegetables on the boat, a big black shark came along and bit
the boat into pieces. Everybody on the boat was frightened and fell into the ocean. Adrian and family
decided to swim all the way to Macau. It took them one hour to get there. When they finally arrived, they
went to check in at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Adrian quickly took a shower and changed into an Elsa
and Anna t-shirt. Adrian’s mum wore a white Elsa dress and his dad wore a superman suit. After dressing
up, they went to the birthday party in the restaurant at the hotel. Ella had a birthday cake with Anna, Elsa
and Olaf from ‘Frozen’ on it. After that, Adrian felt very tired because it had been a very long day. He went
back to the hotel room and quickly went to bed with his mummy and daddy.
The next day, they took the 12 o’clock PM ferry back to Hong Kong. Luckily, there were no sharks this
time!
