we a
king
ay, I went to the countryside to have a picnic and barbecue with my family. In the evening, we
d up the plates and utensils things and were heading home, suddenly, the sky had a lightning and
ll shouted, “WOW”. Then everything went black.
When I opened my eyes, I was in a beautiful palace. I saw many soldiers and the First Emperor
Qin. It was scary and frightening and I couldn’t communicate in my language. We just didn’t
understand each other. I think some soldiers said I looked like a monkey, but the king seemed to like that idea as
they told me he loves keeping pets. The king decided to keep me as his pet and he put me in to a room. Every
morning, he brought me outside to have a walk. I thought he was very nice because he fed me a lot of delicious
foods which I enjoyed very much. I soon picked up his language too.

Drawing the picture:
When I had free time whilst I was in the room, I decided I would write a story and I will also use a crayon to
draw pictures on the walls of the room because the color of the walls was only a boring white so I decided I
wanted to make it look beautiful. One day, I drew some barriers and castles on the walls. When the king went to
my room, he saw my wonderful picture and instead of being angry for making the walls so dirty he was inspired!
He told me it gave him the great idea to build a wall to protect his people. He told his people I was a clever pet
and he gave me a prize, a gold necklace, I loved it and I always wore it.
Build the walls:
Later, Qin Shi Huang ordered his men to build the walls. It took up a lot of time to build it because it was
hard to send the materials from the mountain. The wall was made of stone, brick and other materials, most of
which had to be transported in from the mountains or other districts. One soldiers said to the king “If we order
more people to make it, we can do it faster” and Qin said, “All the men in my country should work to build this
wall.” Then, soon there were a thousand or more people working on the walls and the wall was finished during
at 206BC. Once everyone started working together the wall was built very fast. I realized anything is possible
when everyone works together.
Fighting:
After a month, another country wanted to fright with Qin in the countryside near the walls. The Qin troops
listened to the enemies, until they heard the signal: “Wewewewewewewe.” The Qin troops hid under the walls.
When the enemies went in fount of the walls, the Qin troops opened the cannon balls: “bambambam.” A lot of
enemies died in this deadly battle. The enemies only had ten people still alive when they ran away but our army
archers used fire arrows to finish them off. After that, there were no enemies left. Qin was very happy because
he repelled the attackers He changed the wall’s name to The Great Wall of China.
Ending:
After the fighting, I knew I had to go back home to Hong Kong. I waved my magic stick, and I went back
to Hong Kong. I would never forget my adventures and all that I saw.
