Once Hua Lin reached the baby dragon, she clutched the diamond in her right hand, and touched the
suffocating dragon with her left hand. She muttered a few words, and a shaft of turquoise light shot out of the
baby dragon’s mouth. It coughed up a plastic bag and kicked it away. Hua Lin sighed with relief as the dragon
flapped its tiny wings and nuzzled Muo Li happily.
”Are you okay? “asked Hua Lin.
”Yes! I am! Thanks for saving me from that!” the little dragon squeaked.
Hua Lin looked at the little ball of excitement thoughtfully and asked, ”Can I name you Aqua?”
”Okay! “ smiled Aqua, proud to have his own name.
Hua Lin looked up from Aqua to see all kinds of animals choking on stuff.
”Oh no! I won’t be able to cure all these animals! “ sighed a discouraged Hua Lin. The animals all died, one by
one, as she watched in despair.
”You can still save all animals! “ Muo Li the dinosaur piped up and nodded towards the magic necklace.
”Please make animals reappear, fantasy or real, far or near! I love animals, yes I do, I want to see them at the
zoo! “ chanted Hua Lin desperately as she held out the necklace.
BOOM!
With that the animals magically started to awaken and revive. From that day on, Hua Lin called herself the
Shanghai pet-rescue girl and used the magic necklace to save many animals from extinction. She also happily
gained herself a large number of pets in the process.
