Admiral Zheng He was unhappy and angry but he still had a schedule to visit India to see the Indian Queen.
He quickly sent a small crew to recover the treasure. So, they sailed to India without the treasure. In India,
the Queen was keen to see the treasure that was a gift from the Chinese Emperor so the Admiral told a little
white lie about where the treasure was. The Admiral said they will do some Chinese cultural dancing for
three days, as it was their custom before presenting the gift.
After two days, the Chinese crew found the pirates’ hideaway cave and recover the treasure from the pirates
by pretending and dressing up as pirates, and then poisoned the pirates’ food. The Chinese crew quickly
captured the pirates and took them and the treasure to the Admiral in India. Keng Hung felt sorry for those
pirates so he asked the Admiral, “can you not kill the pirates because they have families too?” The Admiral
agreed not to kill the pirates. After that, the pirates thanked the Chinese Navy Fleet for their kindness for
giving them some foods, coins and let them go. They also thanked Keng Hung too.
On the voyage home, Keng Hung thought of his mother, he really missed his mother. After two months’
time, they finally arrived back home. His mother had tears of joys and cooked fresh Man Tau for them.
“Yummy,” they all said. What an adventure thought Keng Hung. He had learned lot of things and had a
real stowaway adventure. Keng Hung’s biggest wish was to travel with his father and Admiral Zheng He all
the time when he grows up.
