Day 6
Date :6/5/1405
Vfbjtdnnfgh. Hi. Yes! Finally managed to write! I never learnt to write. Right now, the admiral is teaching
me, and Hui is scolding Cheng for not seeing those rocks. Ccrraakk! Oops. I accidentally broke a brush. Just
got another brush. Darn! We’re under attack. Again! I think it is a Indian warship. Hui is waving a flag of
peace. Now Bo and Chang are throwing treasure onto that ship. I think they said we have to meet the king.
By the way, my name is Jian.
Day 7
Date : 7/5/1405
Admiral’s back! We’re sailing towards India right now, but we’ve been shrouded by a blanket of fog and
mist. What? We can’t see anything but we can see an island that suddenly appeared there. We're going to
crash! Phew! At least we haven’t crashed and destroyed our boat. We’ve docked there. Huh? There’s a hole
in the middle of the island. How strange. Wait a moment. I can see water coming up the hole. We jumped
into the boat, only to just be projectiled by the water. That was a humpback whale. We shot up into the air
like a cannonball. Goodbye, cruel world! Hello, Heaven! Arrrrrggggghhhhh! Wait, what? What’s down
there? I think I see India! Whoa! It is India. We landed on India just as the warship arrived. Now we’re
going to the palace. We’ve given them treasure and they have given us different kinds of valuables. The king
has spoken. Hui has translated it to “We are going to set a port up so we can trade stuff!” This is the end of
our first voyage.
