Hi! My name is Huan Jing. I am a fierce warrior. I also know magic and spells. My job is to protect humanity. This is the story of the time I defeated a monster named Disaster.
A long time ago, I had a very wise teacher named Fei zhang Fang. I called him Master Fei. He knew a ton about magic, and I learned so much from him. Every day I would go to him, begging to be taught something new.One day, Master Fei had a vision. He told me that a monster named Disaster was coming on the ninth day of the ninth month. It was going to destroy the village if we didn’t do anything.“Huan Jing,” Master Fei said, “you will have to fight Disaster.”“Me?” I asked, surprised. I had never fought a monster by myself before!“Master, what if I am not strong enough? The village will be destroyed!Why can’t you fight it?”Master Fei replied, “I believe in you. I know you can do it. You are strong enough. I have been teaching you every day for many years, haven’t I?You are ready. I’m getting too old to fight monsters. So, it has to be you.”I sighed. Master was right. He had been teaching me many things for a long time. “Okay, Master,” I said. “What do I do?”“Take these,” he replied. He gave me a bottle of wine. The wine was made from flowers called chrysanthemums. He also gave me a bag of leaves. They were from a plant that is used for medicine. “The villagers must drink the wine and hold the leaves. Disaster hates the smell. This will give you a chance to defeat him!”I went to every house in the village. I told everyone to climb up the mountain. They needed to get to a high place to escape Disaster. Then, I gave them some wine to drink and some leaves to hold.We all waited on the mountain. Suddenly, we heard a rumble in the distance. It was Disaster! He came into the village and began to tear apart the buildings. But nobody was there! Disaster looked around, confused. That’s when he saw us on the mountain!The moment he saw us, his mouth opened wide. The loudest roar I have ever heard came booming out. ROAARRR!! But then he stopped and sniffed. He could smell the wine and the leaves. He made a disgusted face, and he froze where he was, stunned.“WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!” he roared.That was my chance! I ran at him as fast as I could. As I ran, my legs started to feel like they were floating. Huh? Oh! Of course! Master Fei was helping me with his magic! I floated up to Disaster, and I hit him with my sword three times. Disaster fell over, dead!The villagers saw that I had won. They were overjoyed. The village was now safe! “Huan Jing! Huan Jing! Huan Jing!” they cheered.So, that’s my story. I’m so proud that I defeated Disaster. People still celebrate that day every year. On the ninth day of the ninth month, people climb mountains. They also drink chrysanthemum wine. All to celebrate the day Disaster lost and the people were saved.The EndQuestion: Have you ever done something you thought you weren’t able to do?
