Six hands in all,
Clasping the wall.”
“
That’s us!” Steven interrupted, “The second half should contain information, go on, Haike!”
“
In the corner of the wall,
The treasure calls.
Return them all,
Peace will fall.”
I jumped: “That’s where the treasure must be, and how to stop the aliens!”
Right after I said so, Haike found Steven was already snoring away. He said: “I am tired too, why don’t
we take a nap before we head out?” I said:” Good idea!” And soon we too, were snoring. We had another
strange dream. In the dream, we told the Chinese souls about where was the treasure, and they set off
immediately. Soon we saw a Chinese soul handing the treasure to the alien commander, and they signed a treaty
of peace.
I woke up, surprisingly, in my own bed. And I thought: Was it only a dream? Or was it real? I smiled
and looked into the sky, it is a good ending: the aliens have their treasure back and we have ours—the Great
wall stands there today, so I can walk it one day (I haven’t done so yet).
