The Emperor , the genie and the kidnapper
Kowloon Tong School ( Primary Section ), Chan , Elvin Ching Ki – 9
O nce upon a time , in the old city of Shanghai , lived a civilized official named Xi Shang , who was superlatively rich . There were no worries about money , housing , unemployment , for he had a pulchritudinous wife and a marvelous genie which granted stupendous wishes until one day . . . . . . .
Xi Shang was walking through a narrow street to meet the emperor . He was about to reach the emperor ’ s sensational palace , when a prepossessing man appeared in front of him . Suddenly , the man punched Xi with all his strength and he fainted . He kidnapped Xi and put him in a rough old box .
As Xi awoke , he felt atrociously doubtful as he found himself in a super colossal cave surrounded with pirates . Moreover , standing behind him was a paunchy man . He said , “ I am Leung , a horrendous Japanese pirate . The reason I brought you here is that I know you will be constructive with my secret plan .” All of a sudden , he snatched a golden teapot from Xi ’ s pocket . “ Ah ! The genie , in my hands at last !” Xi was terribly shocked and screamed in terror when he saw his bewitching genie in the pirate ’ s hands . After all , everyone knows about his genie though he never told anyone about it . “ The genie will be mine and you should be killed if you don ’ t help me to exterminate the emperor of Shanghai ” In a second , Xi obeyed him without questioning .
After that , Leung gathered all the pirates and they headed to Shanghai by a boat that is as huge as a cruise ship . In the boat , Xi was tangled by ropes as Leung told his plan . However , Xi wasn ’ t looking at him , he was staring at the pirates . They ’ re more monstrous than the ones in the stories . Besides , they have stilton cheese in their bristles and cornflakes which have probably been there for months and months .
When they arrived in the city of Old Shanghai , people were celebrating Chinese New Year gleefully while the king was having a great feast with his royal family . In the jollification , some of the residents of the city were preparing for the magnificent fireworks which would begin in a few minutes later .
At the moment , Xi and Leung raced through the emperor ’ s palace . Consequently , the plan was working super-excellently . Indeed Xi had special feeling , a feeling which is totally devastating , as Xi saw pirates dressed in a particular way entering the great wall surrounded with venturesome soldiers . In the palace , two of them bowed to the emperor simultaneously and Xi spoke , “ Your highness , sorry for disturbing you in this moment . I am Xi the official ; may we have dinner together with my new friend Leung ?” “ May we ? Of course it ’ s certainly a yes . Now , join us and make yourself comfortable ” The emperor answered as he picked his nose with his toes .
Meanwhile , in the city , people were freaking out like mad incomprehensibly . Without noticing , Xi caught sight of an astronomic object flowing in the ultramarine sky . As he rubbernecked even closer , he saw the unidentified object wearing a moustache on his rectangular face and the size of his body is almost a zillion times than a lanky person . In surprise , it was Xi ’ s genie who was flying in the sky like an angel . “ What ’ s my darling sugar doing ? Why are the people affrighting in this wondrous festival ? He thought .
“ Bang !” The door of the humongous living room opened . Behind it was a nervous Nellie who couldn ’ t calm down . The emperor questioned , what ’ s the problem ? You ’ re screaming out like you saw a monster .“ He replied immediately , “ You ’ re right , I did see a monster . Now , there ’ re elephantine babies drooling everywhere and meatballs rolling in the city while spine-chilling vampires were eating the citizen ’ s intestine . The emperor said , “ Impossible .”
