Fiction: Group 2
"Mommy's got it! Whoaaaaaaa!" Two down and mom also had disappeared in the water.
"We must survive, Luca and Jessie! Follow me!" said Natasha.
"Hey Luca! Luca!" Luca was so scared that he fainted.
"Get him on the boat Jessie! No other choices!"
Three hours later when Luca regained his consciousness, the kids found themselves in the middle of
the ocean.
"Mom and dad, we miss you so much," Jessie sobbed."
Luca still couldn't believe that his most beloved parents were dead, "No way! It was just a dream!
No, please come back, Momma, Daddy!!!" Can you hear me?" He howled like a lion.
But just at that moment, Jessie noticed something, "Hey! There is a cave! Let's go and see what's
inside!
Natasha immediately rowed the boat towards the cave, and noticed a beam of sparkling light deep
inside. But there was a locked door with a sign for password. ‘Sad', the password must be 'sad'," said Luca.
"Let's give it a try Jessie, maybe it is."
When Jessie typed 'SAD' on the keyboard, the door was instantly unlocked! Luca felt he was a
sudden hero. He stood up and shouted towards the sea, "I am not sad! I am a big boy, a hero!" "Luca,
you've done a great job!" exclaimed Natasha.
There were piles of gold, rolls of silk, crystal statues and even a diamond crown inside the cave!
The 'survivors' took the treasures to their boat, and made their way out from the 'Treasure Cave'.
They then rowed and rowed and rowed until they saw an island in front of them. Luca said, "This
island may have the supplies we need!" "Agreed," said Natasha and Jessie. When they reached the island,
they first found a compass, "This compass can help us go back home!" said Jessie. Then, Luca found a map.
There was a cross at the top of the map, and dotted lines leading to the cross. He cheered, "Oh, my gosh!
Today is the worst and the best day of my life!" With the compass and the map, they set out with their boat
again, continued sailing back home and kept finding new treasures on the way.
After sailing for more than a hundred days, they finally saw a beach with many people. They
landed on the beach and breathed for some fresh air. A policeman came to them and asked, "Kids, do you
know where you are?" Natasha replied, "No, but you look familiar…" The policeman grinned at them and
told them cheerfully, "Yup, you are home! Welcome home! Oh, but what's inside this box?" Luca said
heroically, "These are the treasures we found during our time sailing on that boat! There are gold, silk,
crystals, diamonds and some more cool things!"
And these years, the kids kept sailing in the Pearl River Delta to find treasures even without their
parents. Now, they have their own treasures trading company and the business is going very well. Are you
wondering why the economy of the whole Pearl River Delta has flourished? It is because of their treasures
trading company. Now, the kids are known as 'Treasure Hunters of the Pearl River Delta'.
