Harrow International School Beijing , Wang , Alan - 14
I t is a sunny day , when my parents and I go to the west of America for the new golden wave , where they discovered loads of golds and sliver in the west of America , my parents took me excitedly to the west to seek for the fortune .
Well , this Is the sixteenth day that we are traveling on the plain , and this we still got more than a month to go , well , my parents told me that this is the fastest and most comfortable way to go to the west , otherwise , we would had to took ships , which will took us more time and we would had to face the deadly disease .
6 / 7 / 1700 Richard put down his diary book , and stared at the outside of the horse car . “ Another boring day .” Richard think , he don ’ t understand , before , their family had a large plantation , and had a very good life , but then when Richard ’ s parents heard the gold wave in the west , and their parents became crazy about the gold , that they spent a lot of money on to the horse cars and the equipment of gold , which Richard think that is completely a waste of time and money , by the time when we got there the gold would already be taken away by others !
Suddenly , there is screaming at the front of the carvery , every car stopped , Richard is very tense , because he is a 13 years old who had no experience this kind of emergency situation , he carefully go to the window , and saw a lot of people riding on the horses and are shouting at sky with their pistol , Richard quickly move back from the window , and sit on the floor , but suddenly the flower vase at the back falls down and make a sound of a big flash . Suddenly , the sound of the pistol stopped , Richard sit on the floor and move back as slowly as possible , but unfortunately , with a big bang , the door was opened , a person with a pistol came in , ‘ A little boy ? ’ The guy say that in a very tough voice , Richard says nothing but tried to squeeze himself in to the darkness , but it is not going to happen . The guy grab Richard ‘ s hair , and pull him violently out of the car , ‘ You are such a weak little boy , you are useless to us .’ Then Richard could see the violence in the big guy ’ s eye , then he took he on to the horses and run away , Richard kept shouting : “ Please let me go , please !” But there is no Reponses form the man in front , then last thing that Richard saw was a white world .
Richard feel that there is wind blowing on to his face , he could feel that he is on the ground and something is moving beside him , then he tried to open his eye as hard as he can , but then what he saw was a beak of a vulture ’ s beak , he screamed as loud as he can , and all the birds around him fly away , Richard have no idea where he is , he just sit there , thinking about what happened before , “ Damn , i was left in a no body know place .” Richard stands up , look at the sky , and he think “ Ok , I know how to use sun as my direction , so now I can ' t find my way to the city .” After having this brilliant , he sit down , and stare at the sun , because it Is afternoon , so the sun is right above Richard ’ s head , so he stare at eh it , watching it goes a little by a little , then he finally figure out the direction of the city .
He started walking to the direction , in the way , he tried to remember the direction that he needed to go , also trying to go at his fastest speed , but after a few hour of this high workload , soon the feeling of thirsty and hungry , came upon to Richard ’ s feeling , Richard look at the sky , thinking about his parents safety , and the journey that he need to continue .
Suddenly , a sound of water came in to Richard ’ s attention , River ! The place where there is river there is water and there are foods ! Richard is so excited , that he even forget the feeling of thirsty and starvation and run straight away to the place where the sound came from , then as the sound getting bigger and bigger , louder and louder , instantly a river came in to his eyesight “ YES !!!!” Shouted Richard , he could even see the fish inside the river and the purity water inside the river .
