CAIRO, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." Eleven-year-old Egyptian girl Janna Gohar used Confucius words to highlight her fierce yet touching story of battles and revenge.

"Revenge is one of the messages in my book," said Janna, "and the Chinese philosopher's saying means when you take a revenge, you're going to hurt not only your enemy but also yourself."

Janna, a fifth-grade student with the Misr American College in a middle-class residential area in Suburban Cairo, wrote her second book, titled "World War III: Cats and Dogs" in 2008.

In the book, an American dog and an Iraqi cat went together to stop a violent war between their compatriots. The cat succeeded in stopping the war, but the dog was hailed as a hero by the media, as the cat was wounded and hospitalized. Irritated by the dog's dishonesty, the cat took revenges and eventually killed him.

Janna said she came up with the idea of writing this book, when she was learning the Second World War at school, and watched news coverage on the Iraqi war with her parents at home.

"I also saw a lot of conflicts between my dog and my cat, so I decided to write about a war between the two animals," the girl smiled, patting her white Persian cat in her bedroom.

"The dog is from the United States and the cat is from Iraq, because America has a big population and big missiles," said Janna." Iraq also has, but not as much."

Her book, illustrated with cartoons by her elder sister Nadia Gohar, described and reflected on the war through a child's perspective.

"Stop the war now! Why are you doing this? You have loved ones waiting in your homes to see you alive and well. They don't want to see your dead and bloody bodies," the cat cried when she saw her husband's dead body at the battle field.

The cat, after killing her dog companion whom she thought had stolen her glory, regretted over the revenge. She would go to the dog's grave every day, present a rose and pray for him.

"The lesson here is to show that revenge hurts both you and your victim," said Janna. "My mother and I searched for quotes related to revenge to put on the cover of the book, and finally decided that we liked Confucius words."

Janna's mother inspired her to write out her first book "Sharktanic" in 2007, and helped with the editing and publishing of both her books.

Janna said almost all of her teachers and classmates had read her books and encouraged her to write more.

"I don't know much about American-Iraqi war," said Janna. "But I think there must be a better and nonviolent way besides going into the war...They should discuss all possible solutions before they jumped into war."

Janna has a 11-year-old classmate from Lebanon, who told her that he used to hear the bombs every night, exploding near his home during the war.

"I cannot imagine going to bed every night being scared that something would happen, because we are in the range of the war," Janna said.

"The kids should have their own opinions heard, and should be able to say 'we want peace', or 'we want to leave the country before you try to do whatever you want to do'," she said.
