The Adventure at ZhuHai
Victoria Shanghai Academy, Lau, Lynette - 8
“Where am I?” A girl named Annette asked herself. Just then, an old man appeared out of nowhere and said,
“We’re at The Fortress Hill Custom Site, don’t you know?” “No, I just got here when I opened my eyes,
wait, this doesn’t look like The Hong Kong Fortress Hill.” Annette said nervously. “You’re right, it’s not
HK Fortress Hill. It’s the Zhuhai Fortress Hill Custom Site.” The old man replied. “WHAT? How would I
go back to my home?!” Annette curiously asked the stranger (The old man).
So Annette asked Hailey “Hailey, where can I go to Zhuhai Macau bridge, because I really need to go to
the airport to go back home.”
“Just take the bus, and you will see the bridge.” Answered Hailey.
Soon, Annette saw a large bus full of passengers, when the bus stopped, few of the passengers left, and
Annette hopped on the bus, and said “Please go to Zhuhai Macau bridge.” And off they went to the Zhuhai
Macau bridge. But she fell asleep because the journey was too long.
When she woke up, she saw that she was in the middle of the road, she saw a lady with a long green coat,
so Annette asked “Excuse me, where are we?” The lady replied “We are at the Ruin of St. Paul’s.”
Annette realized she had fallen in a deep sleep! She quickly tried to call a taxi, but on that time, taxies are
not invented yet!
Just then, she just know that she still has a strange wooden box in her hands, she quickly opened the box,
Annette couldn’t believe her eyes! There was a shiny golden star, Annette picked the star up, “What is this
star for?” Annette asked in wonder. She didn’t know that this star is not an ordinary star, it’s a magical star.
Just then, Annette felt like someone is talking to her! “Hi master, I am the star, I can commend any wishes
you like, but you should think before you say your wish.” Annette was so surprised that she nearly threw
the star away! But she said “What do I need to do so you can commend my wish?” The star replied “You
need to turn around three times, then, close your eyes, then you can say your wish. Just as I said, you need
to think before you speak.”
So Annette did what the star had just said, then she began to say her first wish, “Star, I wish that I can go
home now, I want to be in my bedroom, reading my favourite book.” Suddenly, Annette found out that
she was right on her bed! It was a strange day. Like, VERY strange.
BAM! What happened? Annette was fell into the ground, she fainted right then. When she woke up, she
found that she was in her bed! It was just a dream, but her hands, there was a shiny golden star! Annette
knew this wasn’t a dream. It was real. So Annette asked herself “Hello, can you hear me? I want to
commend my second wish! I want to go to Japan, Tokyo, can you hear me?” Nothing happened, but just as
Annette was going to cry, something magical happened, she found herself in Tokyo! “This is going to be a
great journey.” Annette thought to herself, and so it was, Annette got an amazing trip in Tokyo.
Annette had finished her journey in The Zhuhai Fortress Hill and in Tokyo, had gone to different places. I
hope that you liked my story.
