The Mysterious Magical Crystal Ball
Clearwater Bay School, Butani, Khrish – 8
I
n the 16th century, deep down in the fascinating walled city of Shanghai there lived an amazing, good looking
man. He wore a lot of jewels and was very chubby . His name was Han Wang Wei. He ruled the walled city. The
walled city was covered in jewels. The walls were covered with jewels. Even the floor was covered in jewels. He was
clever, a risk taker and bossy. His breath smelled like perfume. When he talked to people he shouted. It seemed like
the whole of Shanghai could hear him. People next to him felt like they were going deaf. The problem is that he is
a bit of a show off. He felt like he was the most important person ever. He payed people to work as workers and
would pay them very little. The workers even had to brush his teeth for him! Meanwhile, Japanese Pirates were
attacking Beijing. Ripping walls and robbing houses. The workers had a mysterious magical crystal ball they stole
from a palace. The crystal ball does everything you tell it to do. One night the workers had a plan. They sent a
message about Han Wang Wei to the Japanese pirates through a crystal ball. Then when Han Wang Wei was
sleeping they hid the crystal ball in his cellar. The cellar had tons of gold in it. It also had magical wands. They told
the crystal ball to tell Han Wang Wei he has to start giving more salary and tell him to stop being bossy. If he refuses,
tell him that Japanese Pirates will come and destroy his kingdom. Then the workers started laughing.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!” Laughed the workers. “ That will teach Sir Han Wang Wei a lesson.” Then as quiet as mice, they
exited the room. At dawn Han Wang Wei came to the cellar to check if his gold was still in his cellar, but he saw
something else, it was a mysterious crystal ball.
“ Huh,” he grunted. “Yet again something that does not belong to me, well if it its here it must be mine!” Suddenly
the eyes of the crystal ball opened. “Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!” he screamed. The workers watched Han Wang Wei scream
through a crack in the door, they all giggled Then the crystal ball opened its mouth and said
“You have to stop being bossy and you also have to increase your salary!” Han Wang Wei refused. Then the crystal
ball said “If you don’t Japanese pirates will come and destroy your city.”
“I think you are a liar,” snorted Han Wang Wei and went to have breakfast. Then the crystal ball grinned and shut
down.
That evening, Japanese Pirates surrounded the walled city. Li wei the leader of the workers was directing his army
of workers to creep out of the walled city, they got weapons from the pirates, some got ready to shoot cannons and
they were one big team. When they were all ready a cannon was blasted and broke the the front entrance of Han
Wang Wei. Han Wang Wei peeked out of a window and saw a broken hole in the ground. Then he remembered
what the crystal ball said. If you don’t stop being bossy or increase your salary then Japanese Pirates will come and
destroy his kingdom. Then he was so angry he shouted. This time nearly the whole walled city could hear him. Then
he stomped to his c ellar and got a magic wand and turned on his monster army and woke the most powerful beast
ever, The Likutra. (Pronounced Lik-u-t-ra) Suddenly, the earth shook and The Likutra rose up from the ground,
made a screeching sound and then all the robots appeared. They took their guns and got ready to fire.
Then a pirate called Akiko (Pronounced A-ki-ko) took the first shot. He fired an arrow at The Likutra. The arrow
hit it’s back. The Likutra roared, turned around and slipped. He slipped because Li wei poured a bucket of water
where The Likutra was standing. Everyone giggled at The Likutra. Even the people walking up and down the
streets were laughing . Then cannons started being fired. Holes started appearing in the ground. The robots of Han
Wang Wei were kicking and shooting arrows at everybody. Then a cannon struck The Likutra. It fell to the ground
with a thud. Then soldiers started shooting arrows at the robots. One by one robots started to shut down. Then Han
Wang Wei was shot by an arrow. He managed to get up. Suddenly Li wei walked to him and then Han Wang Wei
saw his whole slave army come towards him. Then they told Han Wang Wei to tell them what the mysterious crystal
ball said. Han Wang Wei whispered “You have to stop being bossy and increase your salary. If you don’t Japanese
Pirates will come and demolish my kingdom. Now, I will stop being bossy and increase my salary.” Meanwhile the
last cannon was shot at The Likutra at his head and he fainted. Then the Japanese Pirates ripped the jewels off the
walls, robbed the houses and destroyed the kingdom. They were shooting cannons at the walls to knock down
jewels. The jewels fell onto the ground and shattered into millions of tiny pieces. It was like raining jewels. They
ripped the jewels of the floor. It was like they were digging a hole at the beach. They gave the leftover jewels to the
poor to poor people. Now, nothing was covered in jewels, the only jeweled thing was Han Wang Wei ring. At that
moment, Han Wang Wei slowly fainted in peace.
