One afternoon, Jack and Mary, who are siblings, were on their way home on Nathan Road. Suddenly, Jack kicked something, and when they looked at it, they found that it was a rhombus-shaped blue stone. Jack just put the stone in his pocket because he thought it looked beautiful.
When they got home, Mary said, “Jack, today’s homework is about Egypt, but I don’t know how to do it. Can you help me?”
Before Jack answered, his blue stone glowed. They started to feel dizzy. “Ahhhh!” they screamed at the same time.
After a while, they stopped feeling dizzy. Jack realised they weren’t home because they could see many pyramids. “Look! We are back in ancient Egypt, 3100 BC!”
Mary took his stone from his pocket and said: “Look, Jack! It has words in it.”
It said: “Egypt, Accident Egypt. Find the evil mummy. Read some hieroglyphs from the wall; put the mummy to sleep. Then you can go back home! East and the biggest.”
`What? It makes no sense!’ Mary screamed. “All mummies had been buried in pyramids,”
Jack explained patiently. “It means the evil mummy is at the biggest pyramid in the East!” They asked a camel keeper for a camel because they needed to go through a desert to go to the East. They travelled quietly through the desert at night and finally got to the evil mummy’s pyramid.
Jack and Mary were nervous. Mary wanted to run into the pyramid and read the hieroglyphs from the wall, but Jack thought it was dangerous.
He told Mary to distract the mummy by running around, and he went into the pyramid and read the hieroglyphs.
It worked perfectly! At last, the evil mummy went back into the pyramid and quickly fell asleep because Jack read all the hieroglyphs.
Suddenly, they were dizzy again, and the blue stone glowed again.
They found themselves back home when they woke up.
