New Journey to the West
St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School, Chan, Anson - 10
Maybe one day,
a special thing would happen.
The Sun would float away,
and it would disappear into the west.
No one would know how and no one would know why,
but it wouldn’t return in a month or so.
A scientist would exclaim, “This is a work for a spy!”
The government would reply, “Well, we should find a spy and try.”
A courageous spy would volunteer to do this dangerous job.
He would have to get over Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto!
“Before I go, I have one last wish,” the spy would sob.
“If I wouldn’t return, please, put me in the funeral I have already chosen.”
The government would agree,
then the earthmen would all call him the “Sun Hero”.
The Sun Hero’s mission wouldn’t be easy.
He would have to go into space and report what he would see.
The Sun Hero would step into a rocket bravely,
sitting down at the control room.
He would hope that he would return safely,
and let the people remember him.
The rocket which would travel faster than light speed,
it would get to the Sun by itself in half a nanosecond.
It would be more useful than GPS and airplanes in deed!
It could be a useful invention to the citizens.
The Sun Hero
