明奴（ Mong nu）Goes to an Adventure
Western Academy Beijing, Kim, Haneul - 10
In 广州 (Guangzhou ), China, there was a small village called 别放弃 (bie fang qi). It means Never Give
Up; so sometimes, foreigners say NGU. It is a short name for this village. In 广州 (Guangzhou ), girls can’t
go outside and play with their friends or go to school like boys. Girls don’t matter if they are kids or not.
They just have to work in a house. Mong nu was part of it. She thought that this is so unfair, so she decided
to go on a secret adventure.
The next day, she packed everything that she needs for her long and secret trip. Her mom helped
her. Next, she said goodbye to her parents, and she went out of Guangzhou. The first thing that she saw was
a ship. She thought that ship is not a normal ship, also it was hiding in the cave. She carefully went into the
cave and saw the ship, and then she thought that she is going to use that ship to prove that girls can also do
everything.
When she came back to Guangzhou after a very, very, short trip, she said to her parents that she is
going to leave the house to prove that girls can do anything. And her parents let her to do it. Her parents
believed that Mong nu is going to do a great job. But, her parents said that they are going to send 2 girls and
2 boys to go with her. She agreed.
The next day, is the day that she has to leave, someone knocked on her house. When she opened it,
she saw 2 girls and the 2 boys standing in front of the door. The 2 girls were used to being her mom’s best
friends, and the 2 boys were her dad’s friends. One of the girl’s name was Savannah, and the other girl’s
name was Alina. Also, one of the boy’s name was Max, and other boy’s name was William. They were from
America.
They walked out together to the cave. Max and William helped to pull the ship out. When they
pulled ship out, they took it to the nearest beach. They got into the ship, and Mong nu started driving the
ship. She drove the ship until she saw the island. Few minutes later, they saw a huge island. They thought
that spot is good to relax. So they arrived onto that island. But as soon as they got there, they saw the pirates
coming to steal their ship. They ran into the ship, and they started driving the ship.
They drove as fast as they could, but pirates came closer and closer and they got into a huge fight.
Max and William were using these huge guns to kill the pirates, and the pirates were coming closer and
closer to Mong nu. Then they quickly went into the hiding space. After a few hours later, when they got
out, pirates were all gone. None of them were hiding in the ship.
Mong nu started to drive again towards the ocean where it has a lot of gold and find a good place to
take a picture. So that she can prove easily girls can do anything. It was their first night to sleep on the ship.
Savannah and Alina were already sleeping on the ship. In the morning, they decided that Savannah and
Alina are going to drive the ship today. So Mong nu and the other 2 boys went to fall a sleep.
When they woke up, it was already night. The 2 girls were so tired that they lie down on the front of
the ship. Mong nu started to drive. It was like after 1 hour? They found a small island. It seemed like this
island has a lot of gold or something. They arrived in the Island and they looked at the island carefully.
When the 2 girls were sleeping, Max and William were just wondering around, and Mong nu found the
cross mark. She tried to dig a hole but she couldn’t, because the sand was very hard to dig. So they had to
use a knife to cut and then dig it.
When they finished digging it, they found a treasure chest inside. They took it out and they started to
put that into the ship. They finally got into the ship and came back to 别放弃(bie fang qi). Everyone
thought the trip is over but Mong nu didn’t. She still has to prove her point.
The next day, she went to the place where the president is. She told him all about her trip, and that
the girls also have to go to school. After this, the president decided that the girls can also do anything. Mong
nu was happy after all what she had done. She was thankful to her parents who gave her such a nice name,
and they helped her go on a safe trip.
The week after this week, Mong nu started to go to International school. When she went, she
learned a lot of things and she thought that she is going to go on a trip again, by herself. It was really good
that Mong nu is a really good, brave girl. She packed the same thing as her last trip. She also drove the ship
that she drove the last time. She hugged her parents. But unfortunately, that would be her last hug with her
parents. She died while on her new trip. She fought with pirates and she died because she got shot by the
leader of the pirates.
Her parents were crying a lot. But on the other hand, they thought that they had to teach Mong
nu’s little sister and little brother about their wonderful future. Mong nu has been on everyone’s mind, and
she did a great job. Everyone respected Mong nu. They taught their child about Mong nu, and how to be
brave and kind like she was. Anyone can try any kind of adventure. You can also try just like Mong nu!
