Chapter 44 New Century Goddess

Jack asked his grandmother: Why don't humans have wings? "Grandma told him that this question should be answered by the Goddess of the New Age. Jack asked again: What is the Goddess of the New Age?" Grandma said: A century is 100 years.Every century has a goddess who knows everything in this century and brings gifts to people. Jack imagined the appearance of the goddess of the new century, and fell asleep in a while. He dreamed that the goddess of the century gave him many gifts, and the goddess asked him what his wish was. Jack said, "I want to go to China to see the Great Wall." The Goddess of the New Century took Jack on a high-speed train, pressed a button, and the train flew to the Great Wall with a whoosh. Suddenly, Jack's head hit the wall of the Great Wall with a "bang", and he woke up immediately.
