work on it.

My Kitchen

>>

My dining and lounge room

>>

I like this room the best.

Our bedrooms

>>

Even though it’s squishy and small, it is really comfortable.

The garden is so big that I’ll get lost if

I don’t have a map.

>>

My Garden

>>

Anyway we’re here to have a holiday.

>>

Moscow was a dark time,

But luckily we’ve got away from the leak

problem

>>

It’s morning here in Japan.

>>

I’ve planned a trip into the garden.

>>

I pack everything I need into my bag.

BA-XI Alice

>>

My parents know about it, so I feel safer.

>>

Soon, I set of into the garden, following the

track.

>>

I had seen so many things so far in the

journey.

>>

Plants…

>>

Animals…

>>

I was in a dreamy mode,

Then I woke up to find out that I was off the track.

>>

I am lost.

>>

I panic and I start searching for the map, in my bag….

>>

But I didn’t find it.

>>

I’ve decided what I’ll do next,

And I’ve go at least 2 hours till night falls.

>>

I’m going to climb up the tree.

>>

I tried not look down as I climbed, knowing what the consequences are

if I fall.

>>

I went up to the point, where I could see above the other trees.

>>

I couldn’t see my house, but I saw a hill not far away.

>>

I figured that if I could climb the hill, I might actually see it.

>>

I went up, hoping to see my house from up there.

>>

I reach top with high hopes that I’ll see my home, but I couldn’t see it.

>>

Now I was really panicking.

There was no sight of the house.

>>

Then I felt the Ba-xi twitch.

>>

I reached for it and Brad popped up out of the screen, as if he were alive.

>>

BA-XIHey Alice, why don’t you go and retrace your steps.

Go and find the eagle near the rock and the monkey near the rock cliff.

>>

BRAD

I trusted Brad so I went to the place, where I woke up.

>>

When I reached the place, I continued goingstraight,

Knowing the animals weren't in the opposite direction.

>>

As I ran, I wondered if the animals were still there.

>>

Then, right there on the rock, sat the eagle.

>>

I felt a flood of relief over me.

>>

But, now wasn’t the time to celebrate. I’m not home yet.

I continued on.

>>

It is getting dark now, and I still haven’t found the monkey yet.

>>

Then, at the corner of my eye, I saw my packet of biscuits.

>>

I turned towards the biscuits and dashed into that direction.

>>

I kept running and running, I didn’t stop to

pick up my biscuits, because I saw the trail up ahead.

>>

I followed the trail and, right there, was the house.

>>

I rushed inside and found my mum and dad waiting for me.

>>

“Alice, where have you been. It’s already dark out there.”

“I’ve been exploring. What else would I be doing.”

“Ok, your dinner is waiting for you on the table.

>>

I ate my sushi dinner and went straight to bed after that.

>>

In my bed late at night, I hear my mother and father arguing loudly.

I wonder what happened.
