T
here was a fearless emperor who wanted the scrolls with important information about defeating evil.
A brave young man called Dong priest told him, “I will get them emperor. If I fail I will not
return”.
Off in the mountains dong priest met a hunter with an axe who wanted to make sure Dong priest
was safe. They saw a caged tiger that looked hurt. “Master please help me, please” said the tiger. “I don’t
know” said the hunter. “It’s me, the tiger king, can you help me? I’m trying to get out of here” said tiger
king. Dong priest unlocked the cage. They all walked along the mountain and the hunter said, “I will leave
now you have the tiger king to help you.”
Suddenly a rock demon appeared who looked strong and muscly. I’ll take down this rock demon,
he looks really easy, the tiger king thought. The tiger king rolled on the ground and kicked the demon, and
the demon turned pale then ran away. Then they saw huge green mountain ranges. “Let’s go” said dong
priest and they walked to the hill. It looked steep but it was moving, what was it? Something was shaking
the trees, they looked closely, out of the forest a werewolf appeared. “Watch out, a mountain werewolf
“cried the tiger king. The tiger grabbed his spear and tried to fight the werewolf, but the werewolf was so
strong, how was he going to win? A dog came out of nowhere and helped him fight. The werewolf was too
scared to fight so he ran back into the forest as fast as he could. The tiger thanked the dog and the dog asked
if he could join the team, the priest said yes, so he joined the team and kept going. We are going to the
west to get the scrolls for emperor dong.
The three kept going. They saw the top of the mountain qehou, who looked strong and fierce.
“Oh no” said the priest, “we will fight together” said the tiger king. “Yes” said the dog, “let’s` go and
fight.” They jumped on qehou, and kicked qehou. Qehou scratched them, and they were angry at qehou.
Also, qehou was angry at them and he kicked them in fury. “Help” shouted the king and the dog at the
same time, “I will help” said the priest. “Nooooooooo, he is about to punch” said the tiger. The priest
turned around and the tiger and dog fell on the ground and looked dead. What should I do, thought the
priest, but when he turned around the monster had run away. “Why did he run away, oh they kicked him.
They were dead, they must have faked it”. “We did, is this the place we are supposed to find the scrolls?”
They couldn’t see anything, the scrolls might by underground and they started digging, but just when they
started the scrolls came out of the ground.
