New Journey to the West Kingston International School, Tsui, Charis - 6 O ne afternoon when Mickey Mouse was watching TV, he saw the Leaning Tower of Italy. He worried that it would drop and killed people, so he decided to go and save it. After reading the book called “Journey to the West”, Mickey decided to bring three followers with him to save the Leaning Tower and he himself was the Master. Mickey decided to go to the East and searched for three followers. Finally he got Pokemon Marill, a good splasher from Okinawa, Pokemon Azumarill from Singapore who was the protector of the Merlion Park and Pokemon Azurill, the bravest thing from the oldest temple in China. They started their journey to the west. Their first stop was Egypt. They were very excited when they saw the pyramid. Mickey brought them inside to see what they could find. Then a voice began to speak: “Hello! ’’said a little sweet voice from the pyramid. “Who is it?” asked Mickey. “Haha…. I’m Minnie Mouse. Nice to see you again Mickey!” Minnie came out to greet them. “What are you doing in the pyramid?” asked Mickey. “I’m always here in the pyramid but you didn’t notice! By the way, why are you in the pyramid of Giza?” replied Minnie. “Oh, I’m on a mission to save the Leaning Tower in Italy, so I’ll come back as soon as I finish my journey to the West.” said Mickey. Mickey and his three followers lost their way and ended in France. But when they saw the Eiffel Tower, they thought that was the Leaning Tower. All three of them were very surprised to see the tower was not leaning anymore! “What’s the point of coming all the way here but the tower isn’t leaning?” asked Azurill. “Hey, look at that flag there?” Marill squeaked. “Shush up!” everyone cried. Azumarill shouted, “That’s a French flag! We are in France!” Marill splashed water on everyone because they didn’t believe in her. Then Mickey jumped onto the plane and Marill saw the plane about to take off, she quickly jumped right on the plane! “Hope we don’t lose our way again!” prayed everyone. After a few hours they reached Italy and were standing in front of the Leaning Tower. Azumarill jumped up to the tower and grasped it tightly. “Don’t do that!” shouted out Mickey in a shaky voice. Azurill quickly pushed the Leaning Tower straight, but after he let go, the tower was still leaning! Then Marill came up with a great idea. She went to a garden, picked up a bucket and scooped some soil. At once she used a little bit of water and mixed the soil to turn it into mud. After she went back to the Leaning Tower, she asked Azurill to push the tower again, then she poured the mud into the hole. At the same time, Azumarill climbed down from the tower and helped them. She blew the mud dry! “Well done!” said Mickey. “Good luck for us. We better head home now or we’ll be late for dinner!”
