Shanghai vs . Japan
Western Academy of Beijing , Han , Erica – 9
O
nce there were three girls who lived in Florida named , Sarah , Mia , and Tracy . The three girls were very curious and everyday they would go find some interesting stuff to put in their secret collection .
One day when the three girls were outside , Tracy yelled “ WOW !!! Check this out guys !” Tracy had found a weird rubber band . Mia picked up the band and started pulling and stretching it . Very soon all three girls were pulling and stretching the weird thing . The weird thing got bigger and bigger and soon turned into a portal !!!
The three girls went into the portal , then the entrance disappeared . Inside the portal they saw a sign that said “ to old Shanghai in the 1942 .” They didn ’ t have a choice so they kept on going . When they were almost there they already heard the noise of Shanghai people talking in a strange language , but not for Sarah because that was her home language . They also heard Horses , Buses , Tuk-tuks and people selling things on the street .
When they got to the end of the portal the portal closed . Suddenly Mia said , ” What now ?” Nobody knew so they just started wondering around … until they heard a shot in the air !!! OH No !!! The time has come for the Japanese people to invade Shanghai !!! Everybody including the three girls went running down the street . After a while Mia got tired and so they went into a restaurant to rest . The restaurant was called “ Japanese Style .” But who knew that the Japanese army was inside , they were all very tired so the three girls went over to rest on the nearest couch . The whole army was drinking a drink called “ Saki ” When the army was done they were all really dizzy so when they left they left their envelope behind . The girls went over to read the envelope but it was in Japanese ! Luckily Mia always brings here phone so she translated the envelope it said ,
Dear captain ,
Our plan is to catch Shanghai by surprise at 2:00 am on Wednesday April 4th . Then we will get more advantage of winning because everybody will be asleep .
From , General Sakimotto
Tracy stood up and said “ OH NO !!!” April 4th is only three days away ! Sarah said “ Wait . What side are we even on ?” Mia said “ since your from China lets help Shanghai .” Ok !!! so that was decided .
But now they had to find the Shanghai army . So now they started wandering around Shanghai again . To their luck they found the Shanghai army training in a school playground . Mia said ” Here I ’ ll translate the envelope
then Sarah writes it down .” So that ’ s what they did . Then Sarah went up and asked 不好意思这个信是日本人 写的 , 您可以读一下吗 ?( Excuse me this envelope was written by the Japanese General can you please read it ?) The soldier read it and said “ 请你等一下 。( Wait a moment please .) Soon the leader of the army came back and
asked “ Where did you get this note ?” Sarah replied “ Me and my friends saw the Japanese army and they left the envelope in a restaurant .” The leader said “ you guys are very smart would you like to help us ?” “ YES !!!” all three girls said . Here is what the Shanghai army planned :
