It was made out of green silk, and it was more than twenty feet high. It was a hot air balloon. It was my balloon and it was expensive. There were many emeralds on the basket. I loved it! I built a fire under the balloon, and the hot air filled up. I sat in the basket and the balloon arose to the sky. Suddenly, I saw the Great Wall. It was really long and cool. I liked it and I knew I was in China. So, I quickly landed. I came here, because I wanted to eat some dumplings and drink some tea. It was so great!
