New Adventures
Victoria Shanghai Academy, Li, Xinyun - 9
One sailor came running towards captain Daniel with something round and circle in his fist. Daniel
asked,“ You look very worried and scared. What happened, Bob?” Bob answered, “Read this scroll then
you will understand what had happened. You have to help! We will have to go on an another adventure
soon…” Daniel took the scroll gently from Bob’s hand and opened the scroll to read “Dear Daniel, please
can you help me with one problem? There is a SHIP of pirates who have stolen treasure from an island, and
now that island’s people are very sad, so please can you help with your amazing pirate team? Please??? Your
friend from the lookout Charlie. Ps: please write back if you can or cannot.” “Bob, go and get me some
paper and pen and all the other sailors.” Bob came back with a large group of sailors and a piece of paper.
Daniel read out the message aloud, so all the sailors could hear what the letter was about. All the sailors
listened carefully and chanted together after Daniel finished reading, “Ok we are ready to go!” The sailors
went home to pack and they met near the Ming Treasure Fleet. Daniel told one sailor to deliver the letter
that said” ok!” on it. Then they set off to go on another mysterious adventure.
They sailed for a while until they heard some singing. Daniel thought that the singing came from an island
nearby. But he couldn’t see any island. So they kept on sailing happily until they saw a big ship. On top of it
there was a black flag with a skull and a crossbones and also some scary shadows. That ship was called “Black
Shadow.” Daniel couldn’t believe the singing was coming from the Black Shadow ship. Their fleet was
endangered. All the sailors stood there in horror, they didn’t know what to do. Just then as the Ming
Treasure Fleet drifted on the bright blue sea, their fleet suddenly crashed into the Black Shadow. CRASH!
Then it suddenly felt like the Ming Treasure Fleet’s sailors had suddenly woken up from a sleep. The Black
Shadow ship’s captain hadn’t noticed the Ming Treasure Fleet but now he felt the crash, so he turned
around and saw the Ming Treasure Fleet sailing towards them. He shouted” FIGHT!” There was no
movement but the sound of making arms. He looked around and saw no sailors on the boat to listen to his
slogans. When he turned to face the Ming Treasure Fleet, he saw huge amounts of arms facing him. He felt
so scared that he nearly fell overboard. He turned and was ready to run away, just then all heard a” PONG”
and he fell to the ground with a heavy “THUMP.” The Ming Treasure Fleet’s sailors were so happy, but
soon they heard clinging and crashing, and they looked on their fleet speechlessly. IT WAS THE BLACK
SHADOW SHIP’S SAILORS!!! Daniel and his sailors were ready to battle, and then they started the battle
with a “CRASH.” Someone in the Black Shadow ship had fallen over their captain then all the other sailors
fell on top of him. Daniel and his sailors took their chance, they shot at all the sailors on their fleet until they
were dead and couldn’t move. Then they climbed on the Black Shadow ship and searched for a long time,
finally they found something special. All the sailors’ eyes shone with sparkles.
They slowly opened the treasure chest, inside were shimmering gold coins, glimmering jewellery and shiny
diamonds. They took all the treasure and gathered it onto the Ming Treasure Fleet. They had done their
job! They were very happy to help the poor people who had lost their treasure.
They sailed for a while until they reached an island with lots of people crying. Daniel returned all the
treasure to the island people. They were very happy to have their treasure back and thanked Daniel over and
over again. Then Daniel said goodbye and left the island with his team and sailed back home. When they
finally arrived home, huge amounts of people were onshore cheering. Just then Daniel spotted Charlie in
the middle of the crowd. Charlie said” Congratulations! You managed to make it. For your hard work I am
going to give you a prize. It is a pet parrot! Usually all pirates have a parrot. The parrot can look out for
danger. But this parrot is special, it can also talk to you and understand you.” “Thank you!” Daniel said
happily and took the parrot gently from Charlie’s hand.
