*I’m not talking about the Pearl River Delta in South China. I’m talking about Pearl River Delta in Magic
Land.
nce in Magic Land there was a river.And every week, behind the hills there would be a rainbow,
mystical, spray, and fairies would try and get there before it ends because those fairies want to get
splashed for luck.
But the Fairy Queen had decided the fairies shall no longer go there. She has something else in mind. She
gathered the fairies in the town hall one day,
“Everyone, you shall no longer visit the lucky spray now, you shall visit Pearl River Delta instead…” She said
in a mysterious tone.
Everyone feels distressed.What is the Queen thinking?
“Right, any questions?”The queen cried out. Before anyone can say anything…
“Good…You can all go now!!”
Soon the story had reached humans. Some ‘author’ had used the story as inspiration for their ‘new book’.The
fairies were worried about it. Some fairies came back from the river with news.
“Pearl River Delta is more amazing than the lucky spray!!!”
The other fairies started to murmur, then, one of them asked,
“Why is it more amazing than the lucky spray?”
”Well, it’s because of the magic pearl flowers, of course.” Diana replied.
Nobody has dared to steal a single pearl because the pearls have powers.
“The pearls power makes our powers too!!” cried Diana.
Then Diana ganged up with her best friends Aiko and Miko.Aiko and Miko are twins.Although they are
twins, they have a lot of differences. For example Aiko likes gummy bears, and Miko likes ice cream.
They got to the river.
“W…What… is… going… on…??” stammered Aiko.
The pearls were gone from the flowers! Just then Miko found a glittery trail,
“Look!” cried Miko. Diana and Aiko followed her gaze; they all looked more closely at the trail.
“Wait… It’s not glitter, it’s oil!!” Diana got in front, and Aiko and Miko to stand behind her.
Then she hopped on a lily pad.They all hopped on the last lily pad and got on land.Then they found a
tightly tied bag, and it was full.They realized it was the pearls so they decided to take them to the Queen.
They hurried back with the bag of pearls to the Queen’s palace.
And after hearing their story, the Queen finally spilled the beans.
“Humans had been stealing our magic away from the lucky spray, ” She whispered.“That is why I’ve moved
the magic to the pearls in the Pearl River Delta. I did not know they would find out about the pearls too.”
“Thank you for retrieving our magic pearls.”
