Chapter 1: The Capture
A lady in her garden saw some mint and went closer to it. Then a girl appeared. She had green hair, a green dress
and green eyes. The lady became her mom and called her Shiao Shiao Hua (Tiny Flower). She had a great life
until one day, a powerful man called Barebourche, captured Shiao Shiao Hua’s mother with a net.
“You will never see your mom again.”
“I have friends, maybe they will see you and tell me,” cried Shiao Shiao Hua.
Shiao Shiao Hua was too small to fight. Shiao Shiao Hua was sad, so she went to find her friends Mei Mei Xiong
Mao (Little Sister Panda) and Ma Xi (Circus). Mei Mei Xiong Mao was great and intelligent. Ma Xi was crazy.
She lived in Old Shanghai with Xue (Snow).
“Why did you call us?” asked Mei Mei Xiong Mao.
“Is it urgent?” asked Ma Xi.
“Barebourche, the powerful powered man captured my mom by a net and went somewhere,” cried Shiao Shiao
Hua.
‘’My sister had seen him and his wife,” said Ma Xi. “She’s in Shanghai.”

In Old shanghai, Ma Xi concentrated to find her hous. Mei Mei Xiong Mao and Shiao Shiao Hua were tired.
When they were at Ma Xi’s house, Xue (Ma Xi’s Sister) was happy to see her.
“What’s happening?” asked Xue.
“Ma Xi said that you saw Barebourche and Bibigre,” answered Shiao Shiao Hua.
“Yes, Bibigre ate at my mom’s restaurant,” said Xue.
“And how about Barebourche?” asked Shiao Shiao Hua.
“Barebourche went into Yu Garden,” answered Xue, “Why don’t you eat here?”
Bibigre approached to capture them, but they were eating.
“Now let’s go to Yu Garden,” said Shiao Shiao Hua.
“Bye!” shouted Xue.
Chapter 3: In Yu Garden
In Yu garden, the girls went searching for Barebourche but they were too tired to walk.
“Can you see Barebourche’s laboratory?” asked Mei Mei Xiong Mao.
“Well, I see… lakes, chairs, grass, flowers, but no laboratory,” answered Shiao Shiao Hua.
The girls went near a lake.
“Maybe is in a lake, let’s start with this one,” said Ma Xi.
“OK!” said the two girls.
The girls dove into the lake and they saw a big laboratory!
“So this is a laboratory?” asked Ma Xi.
“Yes,” answered Shiao Shiao Hua.
The girls went in and hid. They saw Barebourche but not Shiao Shiao Hua’s mother.
“Where is she?” asked Shiao Shiao Hua.
“She might be in prison?” answered Mei Mei Xiong Mao.

“Hello!” said Ma Xi to Bibigre.
