louder! At that time, Dim Tim was in the mid air. He was so afraid that he might fall off. Dim Tim didn’t know
how to control them but the shoes didn’t have to be controlled. Dim Tim simply had to think of the place he
wanted to go and shoes would go! It was like magic!!!
He arrived home by the magic shoes. And he rushed to his room and wrote about the flying magic
shoes. He was surprised that he loved Raindo so much even though Raindo always rains. There are many things
to explore around in Raindo. There are many new technologies and new things that Hong Kong doesn’t have.
One late night, Dim Tim smelled something unusual outside his house; it smelled like some animal
food. Dim Tim never had any pets at home. He decided to go outside for a moment since he wasn’t too sleepy.
Dim Tim walked nearer and nearer to the strange smell. And when he saw it with his own eyes, it wasn’t any
animal food. What he could see, was a poor baby animal finding shelter. Dim Tim wanted to help but he wasn’t
sure what kind of animal he saw. The animal had tiny small ears, big brown eyes, tiny wings and had a huge,
circular pattern on its body. Dim Tim had never seen such an animal. He didn’t even know if it existed 9000
years ago. Dim Tim didn’t know what to do with the baby animal. So Dim Tim brought it back and took care
of it without anyone knowing it. He named the baby animal, Shromo.
Every day Dim Tim found out something new and understood the meaning of it. Things were
starting to get better and better in Raindo. The food is exceptionally good. There are rainburgers, rainoodles,
broccoli soups, blue drop salads, wet vegetables, crispy raindrops, chicken rains, steak legs, fried corns, crunchy
egg shells and rain dots for dessert. There are many kinds of new food that Hong Kong doesn’t have.
Even though Hong Kong is a highly advanced city, Raindo is even more highly advanced and
interesting to Dim Tim.
One day, Dim Tim noticed some people walking around in Raindo. The people were speaking in
Raindonese which Dim Tim couldn’t understand. He found out the people in Raindo speaks Raindonese.
Dim Tim asked his father if he knew how to speak Raindonese. But Father said he didn’t know how
to speak it. Dim Tim was surprised that his father didn’t know how to speak Raindonese. He asked his father if
he could learn how to speak Raindonese. His father agreed with Dim Tim because either Dim Tim or Shirley
didn’t know how to speak Raindonese, they could not survive in Raindo. So Father decided to let a language
teacher to teach the children Raindonese. When the teacher came, Dim Tim and Shirley was surprised because
the teacher was so short that she looked like a kid. The teacher named Ms Canibelle sat down on the chair, so
did Dim Tim and Shirley. Dim Tim listened to the teacher who introduced herself and talked about the
importance of learning languages. After that, she taught them how to greet each other with Raindonese.
Days passed by, Dim Tim started to get better at speaking Raindonese. Dim Tim and Shirley rarely
thought about Ms Canibelle’s height. They mostly focused on speaking Raindonese.
One rainy day, Dim Tim saw his father and Shirley wearing a brand new T-shirt, that could vend
off the rain. His father and Shirley bought one for Dim Tim too! Dim Tim was so excited and wanted to wear it.
He wore and went outside. Dim Tim’s shirt didn’t get wet at all. Dim Tim loved the T-shirt so much that he
wore it even at night time.
One night, Dim Tim decided to wear his brand new T-shirt and explore around Raindo again. This
time, Dim Tim could see someone’s house still lit up. Dim Tim peeked inside the house and saw a small boy
with a blue T-shirt on while playing with a toy. When he finished playing with the toy, he pressed some buttons
on the wall. And immediately, a flying robot came out to serve the boy. Dim Tim was so impressed with the
technology and spent half an hour to peek inside the house. When it was nearly 5am, Dim Tim rushed back to
his room to sleep.
