The Mathematics Castle
2B (11) Ho Ka Chun, Dixon
One day, Tom and I finished our extra-curricular activity. When we went to the
school lobby, the main entrance had been locked and we could not see any
security guards or janitors around.
We were very scared, because it was October and it was about Halloween.
We started to find another exit to get out of the school, but there were no
other doors. Then, we started to find other people in the school, but we saw
something weird. When we opened the door of our classroom, we saw an old
woman eating sashimi and there were some bugs on the sashimi.
th
Finally, we found a boy on the 6 floor, and we talked to him. We asked him
who he was. He answered that he was the Mathematics prince. He was
finding someone to help him, so that he could help us to leave the school. We,
of course said yes. He then brought us to a big castle. The prince explained
that the Mathematics devil had stolen one thousand billion dollars from the
Mathematics Castle because he wanted to use the money to reclaim an area
from the ocean, so they could have more land. He found us as he wanted us to
help them.
After we got into the castle, the Mathematics king came to see us and he
asked us how to solve the problem. Tom and I started to think about it. After
five minutes, we thought of a very great idea. We told the king that they could
tell the devil that he could use ten thousand billion ten cents coin to reclaim
that area. The king thought it was a great idea, they thanked us for solving
the problem. They sent us to school afterwards. Finally, we could get out of
school. But the time was 7:00 p.m., my mother must be very angry.
