Sample Essay #1: Retelling the story In the Future Kingdom, assuming Tin-tin and Mi-tin visit different places
a) In the magical garden:
Mi-tin visits the magical garden. Seeing a child carrying a bunch of fruits on a stick, Mi-tin praises, 'The pear bunch looks beautiful!' The child says those are not pears but grapes. The child has figured out how to plant and care for them. The second child brings a basket of fruits, and Mi-tin thinks they are red melons, but they turn out to be apples, not the largest type. The third child proudly shows a cart full of fruits that Mi-tin thinks are red pumpkins but are actually watermelons. The child says that when they grow up, they will plant watermelons as big as that.
Tin-tin and Mi-tin visit the Future Kingdom with the assistance of a fairy.
To expedite their mission, the two friends decide to split up and explore different places. At the Green Workshop, Tin-tin comes across a machine resembling green wings. Unsure of its purpose, Tin-tin asks the first child:
- What are you doing with that machine that looks like wings?
The first child responds:
Certainly! Where is it?
Right then, the second baby asks Tin-tin:
Do you want to witness my invention?
Tin-tin responds promptly:
Of course, what is it?
'Those are thirty elixirs of longevity in those green vials!' said the second baby.
In the midst of the crowd, the third baby steps forward, carrying an oddly glowing object:
'Did I bring an unusually radiant light?' the third baby questions.
Not done yet, the fourth baby grabs Tin-tin's hand:
- Look at my flying machine here.
The fifth baby also takes the opportunity to talk about his invention:
Hold on. Let me show you my treasure-hunting machine on the Moon.
While Tin-tin visits the Green Workshop, Mi-tin explores the Enchanted Garden. Mi-tin encounters a child with a bunch of grapes perched on the top of a stick. Each grape is as large as a pear. Despite recognizing them as grapes, Mi-tin, anticipating Tin-tin's reaction, can't resist saying: 'What a beautiful bunch of pears!' As Mi-tin predicted, the child proudly showcases the grapes and exclaims:
- These are grapes! When I grow up, I'll plant grapes as big as these. This invention will only be revealed when I turn thirty!
Mi-tin sees apples as big as watermelons piled on a cart, and in amazement, asks:
- Red melons, right?
- No, not really. Those are apples,' the child with apples replies, 'but they're not the biggest apples. When I grow up, I'll help people grow apples this big.
Still amazed, Mi-tin sees a child pushing a cart, each fruit as large as a pumpkin. The child introduces proudly:
- My creations: red melons. When I come into the world, I'll grow melons this big.
Both Tin-tin and Mi-tin return to the real world simultaneously. The two exchange information and agree that the future of humanity will be happier thanks to these future-wise children in the Kingdom of the Future.
Sample 3: Retell the story of the Future Kingdom assuming Tin-tin and Mi-tin visit different places
On their way to the land of the Healing Bird to fetch a remedy for a neighbor, Tin-tin and Mi-tin receive help from a fairy and journey to the Kingdom of the Future.
Tin-tin explores the Green Workshop and spots a machine resembling green wings. Curious, he learns from the First Child that it's their invention, meant to create a machine making people happier. Remembering Mi-tin's fondness for happiness through food, Tin-tin imagines Mi-tin asking if the machine can produce edible delights and make a commotion. Excited, Tin-tin inquires about the machine's location. Immediately, the Second Child reveals their creation: thirty potions stored in green vials. Suddenly, the Third Child emerges from the crowd, carrying a peculiar light. The Fourth Child pulls Tin-tin's hand to showcase a flying machine like a bird. The Fifth Child presents an even more advanced device, capable of treasure hunting on the Moon.
Simultaneously exploring the Enchanted Garden, Mi-tin encounters extraordinary fruits. Grapes, as large as pears, hanging on the top of a stick catch his eye. While recognizing them as grapes, Mi-tin, thinking of Tin-tin, jokes about beautiful pear bunches. The grape child proudly declares plans to help people grow grapes like these when they turn thirty. Mi-tin then sees a child pushing a cart full of apples, each as large as red melons. Curious, Mi-tin asks if they are red melons. The apple child happily explains that they are apples and there are even larger ones. Astonished, Mi-tin encounters a cart filled with melon-sized pumpkins. If Tin-tin were here, what would he say? Mi-tin is uncertain if they are pumpkins because pumpkins don't smell like grapes. Mi-tin can't convey his scent experience to Tin-tin, so Tin-tin might have to inquire cautiously if those are red melons. Without hesitation, the child with apples clarifies that they are apples, not red melons.
As agreed, the two friends return to reality after witnessing the fascinating wonders of the Future Kingdom. Both are full of praise for the soon-to-be-born children, believing humanity will be happier in the future.
