The Journey Away Home
PLK Choi Kai Yau School ( Primary ), Leung , Tiffany - 8

L ast night , I was reading a book titled “ Journey to the west ”. As it had been a long day , I fell asleep very soon . When I opened my eyes , I found myself in the desert which was terribly hot and dry . I was frightened . A monk walked near to me , smiled and said gently “ Hi , Sun Wukong . Welcome back !” “ Are you talking to me ?” I asked curiously . I looked into mirror taken out from my pocket , I saw a hairy face with a long tail . I was very shocked . Then , I realized I could travel very far in one somersault and lift up heavy things easily . I was amazed but terrified . “ He is Xuanzang ?” I wondered . Soon after , Pigsy and Sandy shouted at me “ Hi , buddy ! Long time no see .” Both of them looked exactly the same as the pictures in my book . Xuanzang explained to us that all of us had to take a journey to the west ( India ) to complete a mission . That was to find a missing emerald which contained a mysterious power that could save the world . The emerald will make everyone healthier , happier and wealthier . While I was scratching my head , Zuanzang took an A4 paper and quickly folded it into a soaring jet , and it turned from a paper into a real jet . I was shocked . The jet looked cool and powerful . The body was black and shiny , I had never seen it in my life . It only had 4 leather seats with one touchable monitor like iPad in front . Out of curiousity , I quickly jumped into the seat and fastened the seat belt . Xuanzang said “ Let ’ s go .” A second later , the jet stopped . We have already arrived to India . Once we got off from the jet , it became a paper again . Xuanzang put it back to his pocket . He informed us the emerald in green in colour , as bug as my head and precious . We walked together and bumpled into Romeo from PJMask ’ s episode . “ Romeo is holding the emerald .” Sandy and Pigsy screamed . Romeo laughed and said “ mu ha , come , take it if you can answer what son is this ?” Then he started saying “ I see trees of green , red roses too …” I mumbled “ Wow ! I know this as I have been singing tis with my brother days and nights for school performance .” I answered “ What a Wonderful World !” Romeo unexpectedly disappeared and we caught the emerald . After completing the mission , we all screamed and laughed “ We are heroes ! We save the world !” All of a sudden , the sky turned dark and I fainted . When I woke up again , I was in my room . I quickly grabbed the mirror , I saw myself as usual not a monkey anymore . I wondered “ Am I a hero ? Did I save the world ?” Then , mum came in and said “ It is time to go to bed , sweetheart . Good night .” I realized it was just an extraordinary DREAM .
