became friends and Ah Liu joined their journey to India.
They all set off from the Island and continue their journey. Suddenly, a terrible storm occurred and their raft
couldn’t take the intense wind, waves, and rain, so the raft splitted in half and everything fell into the water.
Everything except Ming Wei, his mom, An Liu and the compass started to sink, and soon they were the
only things that were in the sea that was floating! Luckily, they all knew how to swim. All of them kept
swimming until they found an island or a person who could help. When they finally found a boat in sight,
all of them were so relieved. No one owned it, so they kept it. But while on this boat, there was another
storm and it threw them overboard and broke the boat so they just continued searching for more boats or an
island. When they found an island, they rushed to the island and started building what they needed straight
away. First, they made a small shelter and a few beds. Next, they made a plan to build a stronger boat. After
that, they ate and drank some coconuts as food because there were a lot of it. Finally, they finished making
the boat. They stayed on the habitatable island for a week, before leaving the island to go to India. Two
weeks later, they made it to India!

“Which book you are going to read to me today, Ming Wei?” Ah Liu asks. “ I learned this really interesting
story called New Journeys to the West at school today and I am going to tell you all about it now!” Ming
Wei replies. And Ming Wei’s mother opened a small chinese restaurant in India.
