“Zero, what is it?” Jack asked. He pointed at the door.

Zero barked, but the animal kept following Jack. Jack and Zero ran away quickly. After a few minutes, they did not see the animal anymore.

Jack and Zero heard a voice coming from the village. They ran there and suddenly a boy in red clothes appeared. “Hi man, where do you come from?” he asked Jack. “Oh, I come from Halloween Town! Why are you wearing red clothes?” Jack asked. “Oh, because there is an animal called New Year beast living in our village, and it always eats our food! I wear red clothes because the beast is scared of red.” The boy said. “Can you take me to your village?” Jack asked. “Ok, sir, my name is Ben and what’s your name?” Ben asked. “My name is Jack!” Jack answered.

.

“There are many villagers firing red things, what are those?” Jack asked. “Those are called fire crackers! We always played them when something makes us happy!” Ben said. “Ben, can I bring some back to my town?” Jack asked. “Sure!” Ben answered. Jack saw some people giving red pockets and asked Ben, “What are they doing?” “They are giving red pockets to the children. We have a lot of things to do during Chinese New Year, like having fireworks, playing the dancing lion, writing Chinese calligraphy and eating Chinese New Year cakes! If you want to make your town happy, you can do all these things!” Ben said. “Thank you Ben, Zero let’s go back to our town!” Jack said. Then, Jack and Zero went back to their town.

Ben walked over a pile of clothes on the floor. “Mum, what will we have for breakfast?” Ben asked her mum. “Eat the macaroni on the table and drink the milk!” Ben’s mother answered.

.

A rock was thrown at Ben outside the widow when he was having his breakfast. A boy called Jack and a girl called Jenny stood outside the house and shouted at Ben, “Ben, we are waiting for you!” Ben answered, “I know, Jack, I am coming!” Ben took a cup of milk and went outside quickly. “Where are we going today?” Jack asked. Jenny suggested, “We can go back to the outdoor area we went to yesterday!” Ben agreed, “Let’s go!”

.

Ben saw a squirrel running across the road and it escaped. “Ben, what is it?” Jack answered. “Our outdoor area is covered by a snowslide, how can we play?” “Why was there a snowslide?” Jenny asked. Ben said, “Be careful! There may be a snowslide coming at any time!” “Oh, I see, the mountain is so close to the outdoor area.” Ben said. “Let’s shovel the snow ourselves!” Jack found something in the snow and asked, “What is it?” Ben said, “Oh no, a tank!” Ben shivered when Jack found the tank.

.

“Is the tank real?” Ben asked. Jack said, “Yes, it is! There is a book near it, take it up!” Jenny took it up and said, “It is a manual of the tank!” “Jack, we can use the tank to remove the snow!” “It is a good idea!” They went inside the tank and they started to remove the snow. “Fire!” Jack said. Bomb! It was loud. Many children came there and they saw the tank.

.

A boy asked, “What is it?” Another boy said, “There are many weapons! I think they are real!” Jack said, “Let’s tell the president to spend some money to build a park for our village!” The squirrel cried when tank moved across the road because it thought the children would die when they went to the White House. There were many children joining the demonstration, and they were all under ten years old. Ben saw the watch and said, “We’ve walked for about an hour!” There was a sign which wrote, “Welcome to San Francisco”

.

Many policemen went to the White House. The police thought the tank was not real, but when a boy fired, the police was very scared. Jack, Ben and Jenny went outside the tank and shouted, “Let’s go inside the White House!” The president said, “You are very clever, there is a playing room on the second floor of the White House. You can go there to play with your frienda. We will build a park for your village!”

The children were happy and they had a park in their village after a month.
