Short Story - The Pearl River Delta

 

            It was a beautiful and sunny day in Hong Kong, the sun is bright like a diamond. The brother and sister, Peter and Helen, were playing catch in the forest, running and playing happily. Peter is fat, he is blue-eyed and he is careless, Helen is opposite to Peter, She is thin, smart and intelligent. Peter was running so quickly that he bumped into something without notice. "Ouch!" screamed Peter. Helen heard Peter screaming, she was so worried that she ran as quick as light towards Peter."Are you all right?" asked Helen. "I feel dizzy!" said Peter. Peter turned around and looked at Helen, who was standing behind him. Suddenly Helen yelled "Oh no! Your head is bleeding!" Helen was concerned. She looked around the forest, but nobody was around. Suddenly a mysterious house appeared in the forest. She walked Peter towards the mysterious house to ask for help. "Knock, Knock, Anyone there?" asked Helen, nobody answered, at last Helen opened the door herself. Suddenly the wind started to blow, the leaves started to shake. Peter and Helen started to spin, they spin faster and faster! Then everything was silent, It was as silent as the falling snow. .
             Peter and Helen woke up, they were so dizzy that they can't even walk properly. They looked around themselves, there were boxes all around them. The boxes have different writing on them. Some were written " electronic products" ; some were written " toys" ; some were written "garments and textiles", and some were written "plastic products" They were trapped. Peter asked Helen " Where are we?" "How do I know?" said Helen, "You should know! If it's not because of you we won't be here! " Said Peter. "It is not my fault!" shouted Helen. The two siblings started to argue. Just at this moment there was a voice saying "We have arrived in Macau, hurry up! Bring the boxes of goods down the ship, The goods are invested by foreign entities and is geared for the export market!" The sailor came in and brought the boxes of good away one by one.
