Emperor Qin And the Bad Mongolians - an original folk tale by Rahul

i learnt folk tales at school last year - this is one i wrote in class..

Once upon a time there was a fine Emperor called Emperor Qin who ruled all of China. Emperor Qin loved everything except Mongolians because they always tried to take over the country. So the Emperor’s soldiers built a great big wall to stop Mongolians from taking over the country.




One day the great big wall had a tiny little gap where lots of bad Mongolians went through. So many Mongolians went through but the Emperor did not know. Suddenly the soldiers saw all the Mongolians. They rushed to tell the Emperor, the Emperor was shocked at what was happening then suddenly the Emperor had an idea

Emperor Qin called his best friend Emperor Shah, the Emperor of India to see if he had any laser guns and Emperor Shah said, “Of course we have laser guns.”  So Emperor Shah delivered the laser guns to Emperor Qin and chased all the Mongolians out of country and they all lived happily ever after
