Western Academy of Beijing, Schaeffer,Alejandro - 9, Fiction: Group 1
nce upon a time there was a man and he had one suspicious thing about him. He had no name!
One day the man got tired of being called “the man”. He thought about getting a name so he
thought of the closest place from where he lived in Hong Kong. The man thought for a while and
then came an idea. He said,“I will go to the Pearl River delta to find a name. I’m sure I’ll find a name,
there in the Pearl River delta.” So off he went. When he got there he saw a forest, from the forest he came up
with the name Florist. When he got to a building he came up with the name Bob. When he saw the
southern delta, he came up with a name called Southern. Then he thought about it and he connected the
names together and it made the name Florbern. And he thought about it and said,“That is the perfect name.
I shall be called Florbern.” So when he went home he told everyone that his name was Florbern. “I got an
announcement to make. My name is now going to be Florbern.“ Everyone liked it and they all said “That is
the perfect name you shall be called.“ Everyone called him Florbern for the rest of his life. Then Florbern
lived happily ever after.
