aving done with that monster, they continued their journey to India. The blazing sun shimmered
over Tang Seng and his disciples. As they ventured through a vast desert, Sun's keen eye spotted a
calm, glittering oasis. "There!" He called out. They scampered towards their target. However, the
water turned out to have a color of purple.
Poison?" asked Sha. "Just jump in, you can trust me." Tang interrupted, "Jump!" Tang repeated. So
they did, splash!
"Where are we?" Sun questioned curiously. "This is the future. That was a magical portal to a random
time." Tang answered. "But how do we get to India?" Still baffled Sun commented. Since it might take
forever to answer all of Sun's questions, he just shunned him and carried on walking on the street. As they
perambulated through the narrow, winding streets, the people who passed them looked at them weirdly.
Soon, they arrived at the airport. "We're taking the plane," Tang verbalized. Zhu interrogated what
a plane was, "is it delicious?" He asked. His answer is that it was not food; it was a form of transportation.
As they climbed up on the colossal machine, they stepped on 42 people's feet; elbowed 12 people,
and tripped 36 people over. Their seat was at row 316; it was a really unordinary plane!
Not long after take-off, they crashed onto an unknown island. They lingered there for ages! Until
one day, they realized they were at India, what a fascinating discovery! However, the truculent guards didn’t
allow them to enter the country as they looked like creepy monsters.
Soon, there was an abrupt flash not far from them, “it’s a portal!” Exclaimed Sun cheerfully when
he saw it.
Into the portal they went!
ZOOM!
They were back at the desert, “oh! I wish I could have some water? Don’t you?” Cried Zhu. The
thing is, the oasis has completely vanished. There was still a very long way to walk!
