Kidnapped by a Thief in Old Shanghai
S . K . H . St . Peter ' s Primary School , Chan , Julian – 10
O ne day , there was a pair of twins , the oldest sister was called Lily and the youngest sister was called Kathy .
Lily was a cute , nice and friendly girl . Kathy was a clever girl , she always had many crazy ideas in her mind . They lived with their parents . Their parents were rich because their father was a boss of the bank and he did a lot business with other banker and earned a lot of money .
In a summer holiday , their parents told them to go to Shanghai and have fun . This was the first time that Lily and Kathy went to a place on their own . They booked the airplanes tickets on internet and their parents took them to the airport .
When they were on the airplane , a waitress walked towards them and asked on a soft voice “ Girls , are you going to Shanghai today on our own ? Your parents told us to take care of you .’’ The twins felt thankful and pleased .
A few hours later , all the passengers felt that the plane was swinging around ! Later , the captain told them the plane was falling into the sea . All the passengers screamed and some of the children cried loudly .
Lily and Kathy opened their eyes , “ Where are we ?” asked Kathy . They found that they were inside a room , Lily looked out of the windows ” Oh no , L think that we are in Peace Hotel . We come back to Old Shanghai ! ‘’ Lily cried .
After they cleared their minds , they walked downstairs . Many Shanghainese looked at them because they wore strange clothes . Suddenly , two men ran out and used some big bags to catch Lily and Kathy . All the people on the street saw this and screamed loudly and all ran away . Those thieves took them to secret room and trapped them inside . The thieves needed them to give them money and asked their parents to pay a ransom too . “ Hum ... our parents were not in Shanghai …. we came to Shanghai by ourselves ”
“ That was not true ! Don ’ t lie to me ! Give me your money !” Because the twins could not pay , they were trapped .
At night , the thieves went out and Lily and Kathy tried to get out of the trap . At last , they escaped and ran back to the Peace Hotel . “ Oh ! That was really scared ! I thought that we would die ! “ Kathy said . “ I wanted to go back to Hong Kong !” said Lily . They were very tired . Soon , they slept . In early morning , they woke up and found that they were sleeping on a bed . “ Home ! We came back to Hong Kong !” “ What are you talking about ? You stayed at home every day . Were you dreaming last night ?” asked mum . Kathy said ” Oh my goodness ! Is that true ? We were dreaming ?” At last , they knew that they were dreaming last night and they didn ’ t want to dream this kind of dream ever again .
