Terracota Warriors - The Emperor’s Adventure
Bradbury School, Bracovic, Yelena – 7
oday in modern China everything was okay. The weather was sunny and it was a beautiful
day. I went to a museum to learn about the terracotta warriors. There were 8000 soldiers
staring with beady eyes at tourists at the museum.
Then I saw the coffin. When I opened the coffin a beautiful person made out of jade was lying inside.
When I touched it the jade the jade cracked open and I saw a real man inside. He said “Who are you?”
I said “My name is Yelena Bracovic. What is your name?” The Emperor said “What is that big pink
thing you are wearing?” I said “They are my trousers! Are you crazy?” He said “Yes”.
So I taught him about modern China. First, we got in a taxi and he said “What is this thing like a fast
horse, and where are its’ legs?” I said, “Silly Emperor it is a taxi.” When he looked out of the
window he saw people on bikes and he said, “Ha ha they have two wheels taxis. Ours is much better
than those.” I said “Dumb Emperor they are not two wheels taxis, they are BIKES.” We stepped into
a nice restaurant. He tasted the restaurant’s food. He loved the snake meat. When he saw his brown
drink he shouted “Why are these bubbles in my tea?” I said, “Dumb emperor, it is Coca Cola! “Who is
that man with long hair?” “You are ridiculous Emperor, it is a lady and she is beautiful.” The Emperor
said “I want to marry her”. Then she said “I will not marry you because you look like a tyrant.”
Then, she slowly walked away.
After lunch I took him for a haircut. He looked silly in the end. He had pink dyed hair and it was all
spiked up. I laughed when he was angry. After the haircut he went outside and everyone laughed at
him. The more the people laughed the angrier he got. A man gave him a newspaper to make him
joyful. When he saw the newspaper he was happy because he learned that China was rich. He read
the newspaper again because he liked it. Then we stopped at a big opera house. The Emperor wanted
to go inside because he wanted to hear some fantastic singing. He went inside and bought the tickets.
When the show started an elegant lady who was from China sang in Chinese. I didn’t understand the
language but the Emperor enjoyed it. After she stopped singing, we left. I said to him “I didn’t like
it”, but the Emperor said he loved it. The emperor said “Thank you for teaching me about modern
China. I can go back to my coffin and sleep”. I will never forget what happened that day!
