Dear Ma and Ba,

I am going to Never-Ending Mountain to ask the Old Man of the Moon how I can change our fortune. I might be away for many days,but don't worry, I will be fine. When I come back we will be able to fill our with gold and jade.

Love your obedient daughter, Minli

Then she prepared for her journey. On her blanket, she put: a needle a pair of chopsticks her white rabbit rice bowl a small piece of dried bamboo a hollow gourd (a container or ornament made from the hollowed and dried skin of this fruit) full of water a small knife a fishnet some uncooked rice a large pot and the one remaining copper coin

Then she wrapped her blanket into a bag, tied it on her back and took one last look at her old and dull house. Opened the door and left. || Visualize: The bit I visualized so vividly was when she woke up because when I wake up i am spinning with thoughts of what I need to do I visualized her hair all messy and her face looking tired || 6 || As Minli left the house, she was afraid that some of her neighbors would ask her where she was going or what she was doing. She felt that she must look mysterious with a large bag on her back and her face full of excitement. But no one noticed her they were all so busy. She saw a boy and a girl fighting over a pretend food of mud when their mother called them for dinner they both refused to move. Minli had to smile at their foolishness. So Minli walked right out of the village without a second glance. At the bottom of the mountain, she took out her knife, needle, rice bowl, bamboo piece and a jug of water. Then trying to remember all the goldfish's instructions, she cracked of a small bit of stone( with her knife) and rubbed it up and down the needle 99 times before throwing back to the ground. She then filled her rice bowl halfway with water and let the bamboo float in the water. After that she picked up the needle and looked at the white rabbit on her bowl. "Okay"she said to the jumping rabbit, "lead the way." Then she placed the needle into the bamboo. Like magic, the needle spun around. Minli then packed up her things and followed the direction of the needle.Then she walked and walked... Far far away so her parents won't find her. When the sun set she then leaned against a large tree and fell quickly asleep || Visualize: I visualized the part where she saw the boy and girl fighting most vividly because I have seen some myself || 7 || The sun had set and the moon was beginning to rise Ma and Ba returned home even though they could smell the steam from the rice cooking, they noticed that the house was strangely dark and oddly quiet. "Why is Minli sitting in the darkness?"Ma wondered as they approached the house. "Perhaps she is sad about giving up her goldfish,"Ba said as he shook his head. "Can our fortune be any poorer" Ma sighed. "We cannot even feed a fish for our daughter."But when they entered the house and read the note Ma made a noise like a shrieking cat. "Quiet, quiet wife," Ba hushed her. "If we move quickly, we can find her and bring her back home" So then they packed their stuff in his (the dad's) cloth sack while he was packing he said"She has had almost half the day to travel ahead. It might take us some time to find her." But she continued to weep. "It all the stories you told her,"Ma sobbed. "She believes them and now is looking for the fairy tales."Her words cut into Ba like slices of a knife but continued to pack. His hand trembled as he tied the bag closed but they were gentle when he put them on Ma's back. "Let us go ,"he said.when they left the house most of their neighbors poked their head out of their houses and asked what happened then they told them what had happened. There villagers said that Minli was trying to do the impossible. They then pointed or nodded in thew direction where they saw Minli last. But finally, a small boy was heard. "Minli left toward Friutless Mountain," ha said. " I saw her with her pack." They then found foot prints and followed them hopping that they would be Minli's || Visualize:I visualized Ma's frantic face most vividly because I have also been very worried and frantic || 8 || Minli woke up and even in the shade of the forest and even in the shade of the forest her black head burnt hot || Visualize: || The Secret of the Sacred Temple: Cambodia || finished || The story was about going on a mission to cambodia and he found out info about his long-lost brother || Visualize: i visualized the scary bit where he had no parachute when he was falling and i felt very queasy even reading about him ||
