This will now be a new feature on the blog. “Stories From Taiwanese Children” will be contain short stories written by children in Taiwan(duh). Most likely my students, but anyone is welcome to submit a story to be featured here. To submit a story click on the “Email Me!” link. The first story was blogged under the title “Translation Disaster!”. This story was written by a 12 year old Taiwanese boy. He was shown a picture of Link from the “Legend of Zelda” game series and was told to write a story about it. The picture showed Link battling a monster bat. Below is the work he turned in. Enjoy.

The Magic Forest

He is a man. He always wants to die. One day he goes crazy. He wants to fight with a monster, but the monster lives in the magic forest. He goes by plane. He doesn’t have any money so the pilot kicks him out the door.

He flies to the magic forest and jumps on the monster. The monster is angry. It uses fire to kill people. Then the man dies in the forest.

The god comes to the forest. The man comes back to life, but the monster goes crazy now. It uses fire and all the trees are burnt. The man’s clothes are all burnt. He takes his sword to kill the monster. The monster dies in the lake. The man goes crazy. He jumps into the lake. The god is the winner. He is happy. -The End

Any guess what this child will grow up to be?
