then she realized it was the same woman who came in her dreams. There was a lot going in aunt
Biyu’s head, there were a million questions in her mind.
“
Relax, you don’t need to be afraid” said the old woman. “I know your fore fathers, they helped
build this wall but also cursed it”
“
Cursed it? Why?” said aunt Biyu
“
They were forced by the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty to build the wall. Your great-great-
great…grandfather disliked the Kings and then he cursed the wall”
“
How do you know all this?” asked Biyu
The old woman said “I heard your great great, great… grandfather talk about this to the other
labours building the wall”
“
Why did you then come in my dreams?” questioned Biyu
“
I needed Bo’s help, and you where the only one who could bring Bo here...” said the old woman
“
Why Bo of all the people in the world” inquired Biyu.
“
I needed her help because she had God’s gift to break that curse, he mentioned that his 20th
grandchild is the only one who could break that curse. And his 20th grand child is Bo!”
“
But what was that curse?”
“
The curse was that, whoever will began this trail will get sucked into the walls”
“
Then Bo’s mamma and baba might have got stuck in there too!”
“
Maybe” said the old women as her voice disappeared in the cold air.
Bo could not believe what she saw, “Aunt Biyu, what is this? Why is there a huge crack on the
walls?” “Just see...” replied her aunt with a smile. The cracks were wide and tall, surprisingly few
figures stepped out of the walls and the stretched their arms and legs as soon as they got out of the
walls . They were not Bo’s parents but tourists from other countries. As time passed thousands of
people came out of the cracked walls except Bo’s parents. Bo waited patiently so did her aunt, the time
came when the last two people came Bo yelled “Mamma! Baba!” she had tears of joy in her eyes. “You
guys came back for me, I knew you would!”
“
We had to come back to our little princess right?” replied her father.
Bo was happy, she had got back her parents and happiness returned to her life again.
