This well-known place has an amazing secret behind it. It is not a joke. This wall actually
ade by human beings! It was made with the help of a mysterious power. Up to 2000 years
ago, the ruler of Chun Dynasty had unified the whole of China. All the lands were his own. However,
he still wanted to control the minds of the people too. Everyone said that he was a bad King even my
teachers and some books say that. But this is not true! It was not his fault. There was a magic door.
King Chun could travel through from the past to modern times. He went traveling everywhere!
T
King Chun became greedy traveled into outer space! He got on the latest “space ship” and traveled
from Mars to Neptune. He saw a light flash by, he became curious. King Chun followed the light but
forgot to go home. He went a strange place that full of fog, he could not see anything. Suddenly, King
Chun saw three men walking towards him. They were aliens! They were green and ugly. They had
slime all over their bodies. King Chun thought they were disgusting but interesting. He asked them if
they could build.
“
Sure, we know! We are super engineers and we have won a lot of prizes”, they replied.
King Chun had a brilliant idea. He introduced himself and invited them to join in his wonderful
plan to build the longest defensive wall in the world. However, they rejected him because it was not a
big plan on their planet. King Chun was angry. He went away immediately through the magic door.
The next day, King Chun found some people to go with him into the outer space. They could not
find the aliens. He was sad and disappointed. King Chun got home and locked the magic door, he
didn’t want to go back into space anymore!
One lovely morning, King Chun was reading his favourite book in his room. Suddenly, he had
heard some knocking sound from the magic door. He quickly opened the door and saw those aliens.
The aliens apologized to King Chun and said that they would help him. They chatted happily. The
aliens told King Chun how their mother supported and encouraged them to help others.
The people of Chun Dynasty became lazy, they didn’t do a thing to help the aliens. The aliens
worked and worked and finally the Great Wall was finished. The aliens were worried about how they
would return home. They could not remember how they came to be in China. King Chun felt sorry for
them, so he made a map and tried to help them to back to their planet. He taught them about the signs
and words then took them to the magic door. When King Chun opened the magic door, some odd
things happened. It looked different. It was full of fire and black smoke. They searched all around but
there was nothing left but dead alien bodies. The slime was flooding all over the place. The three aliens
said there must have been a war. The aliens took out a glass ball from each of their tummies and put
them together. It showed a lot of other aliens fighting with Chun’s army. The King Chun felt ashamed
and apologized because it must have been his army who went through the magic door and betrayed him,
wanting to be in control of the aliens planet. King Chun decided to help the aliens. He went back to his
kingdom with the aliens and killed all the betrayers. He started to train up his army again because he
had a Plan B.
One month later, King Chun, the aliens and 500 armies walked through the magic door with
different kinds of tools. They worked with the aliens happily. They built Chinese styled houses, schools,
markets and temples in return. After all the things had been done, King Chun ordered the armies to stay
there with the aliens forever and that was the Plan B.
King Chun also promised he would come back again with pretty girls. Not long later, King Chun
really came back with 500 pretty young ladies and made them swear that they would not tell anyone
about this planet and the magic door. Everybody was happy. King Chun hid the magic door by
swallowed down the magic key so no one would know the secret.
Unfortunately, such a secret was discovered by a ghoul who was the grand- grandfather of my best
friend, – Silly Jones. King Chun thought that he was the only person in the world that knew the secret
of the Great Wall, but he was wrong. He was careless because he dropped them down in his dairy and
was found by Silly Jones’s grand-grand-father in his tomb! I hope King Chun will not be angry and
upset, and the most important thing is – Don’t tell anyone!
