Fiction: Group 2
New Tales of the Pearl River Delta
ISF Academy, Leung, Thomas - 9, Fiction: Group 2
ong time ago, there were three very big and powerful immortal dragons that controlled the fertile
southern part of China. Their names were Bei Jiang, Xi Jiang, and Dong Jiang. One day, Dong Jiang
said, “Hey! What’s that over there on our territory?” It was human, which overtime, spawned many
more. Actually, the humans liked this place so much they called it the Pearl River Delta, naming after the
precious pearl. But then, they grew so fast and made factories that spilled one critical thing that the dragons
were not immune to--the deadly pollution. The three dragons got very sick and their every cough shook
the world.
One day, the Loch Ness monster came to visit the dragons, and could not believe his eyes! There
was sickly black smoke and liquid everywhere. The three dragons were so sick; their life sources started
disintegrating! As they were dying one by one, the Loch Ness monster found another way for them to live:
it turned the three dragons to three rivers. Only then the Loch Ness monster begged the humans to clean up
their smoke and putrid liquid. The humans felt very bad they had not thought of the dragons. With the help
of the Loch Ness monster, the humans built strong filters as big as the Empire State building to clean the air
and the water. Bei Jiang, Xi Jiang and Dong Jiang finally became three beautiful rivers that guard the Pearl
River Delta.
