The story
“Fear factor”
Long ago, there was a huge gigantic ogre living at the top of the hill in a remote village in China known as Pang. He used to tend to his farm in the evening, which had assorted fruits and grapes growing in it. Many naughty children around the village could steal Pang’s fruits at day time since it was safe during the day. Xing was very cheeky and naughty and was the leader of the children’s park in his village. He was in the forefront in all mischievous acts in the village, which made his parents angry. One day, he and other children in the village invaded Pang’s farm to steal his juicy fruits. They were fond of this habit and had succeeded in stealing without being caught. However, on this day, Pang descended down from his house to fetch some water since he was thirsty. As Xing and his friends were enjoying the fruits, they found they found themselves inside a bag. They only realized that they were under Pang’s mercy when they found themselves in a room full of broken bones. Their only redemption was for their parents to give the huge ogre five goats for each child. This truly scared them and avoided Pang’s farm.
