The Pirate World
Yew Chung International School (Primary), Wang, Angela - 7
Once upon a time there was me, my brother and my friends and the Ming Treasure Fleet started in Hong
Kong. It took the children 3 years to get to America, then they started to fight because they are enemies of
the pirates. The pirates said “I’m going to steal your treasure!” The children shouted “No you are not!”
They continued to go to America. Everyone was feeling nervous because they knew they were about to
fight each other. Their hearts were beating fast.
The pirates made the first move to fight. One pirate came behind me to try to steal my stuff. I
quickly turned back and shouted “Hold on! You are not going to steal my treasure. I’m going to push you
in the water! “ Ahhhh! SPLASH!
Everyone on the boat heard the very loud surprising splash and the pirates ran to see what had
happened. “Oh no! Man down in the water!” shouted a pirate with a rope. They threw the rope to the
drowning pirate, but it was too late. He was too tired to pull.
The children said “Hooray! One pirate down!” The children ran to continue the fight with the
other pirates. Then another pirate said “I will fight with those little children” and me and my brother said
“You can’t do that because you are a nasty pirate. HA HA HA!”
We decided to push him down into the water. My brother was smart and used the sword to cut off
the bad pirates head and he was gone. We felt happy and said “Yay! Another pirate is dead!”
We continued to sail to America until we almost got there and then we met another whole ship of
pirates. They were much stronger so we had to make a plan. Our plan was that some of us would do
gymnastics and some of us would do kung fu. We’d surround the pirates at once. At first we didn’t win but
we kept trying and trying and then at the end we did it! We won the battle! We were feeling so happy that
we cheered. We kept sailing and made it to America. When we got there, we saw pirates taking other
people's stuff. We had to fight with them until all the pirates were in the water. Once they were in the
water, we gave all the sparkly gifts to the poor people that didn’t have them. We also gave other people gifts
because the nasty, mean pirates had stolen everything from their homes. The people felt happy with the
Hong Kong children gave the sparkly gifts to the people in America.
