"Family Folklore" by Tong Liu

A long time ago, when my uncle was six years old he had a huge fight with my grand-parents. He didn't want to go to school, but my grand-parents forced him to. They got into a huge fight and they started fighting using kung-fu skills to fight each other. My uncle was good at kung-fu but my grand-father was better. He used a iron fist move and my uncle got scared, he decided to run away form home so he could have things his way!

My uncle decided to go to my great grand-parents house, because he knew they were nice and they would definitely help him. He ran away from home, at the speed of light, and he made it to the train station in under a minute. Their was just problem, he didn't have any money to buy a train ticket. The only way was to sneak on the train! As quick as the wind, my uncle hid behind a post and waited for the perfect opportunity. Finally the opportunity came. Just as the train was leaving, both guards had their backs turned to him and as silent as a shadow, he jumped on to the train. Little did he know his troubles were just beginning!

Once he got on the train he knew something was wrong, all the people looked scared. Then out of nowhere a punch sent my uncle flying. Now he knew what was wrong, a huge gang member was on the train and he was stealing stuff from the poor people. As quick as lightning my uncle got up and charged at the gang member. The gang member charged as well, but my uncle sidestepped at the last moment and tripped the gang member. All the people on the train cheered as my uncle threw the gang member off the train, now they were all safe.


In no time my uncle's train arrived in the town of Sechan. He started panicking because, the town was so big and he thought, there was no chance he would find my great grand-parents house. He was getting hungry and desperate from searching when he finally got and idea! He found a psychic begged her to help him find the house. It actually worked, in no time he was at my great grand-parents house. After that things went smoothly and he was very happy.
