Once upon a time there lived three little kids named Peter, Jennie and Charlie.
They were on an adventure to find the hidden treasure. Jennie’s auntie said to the children” I remembered when I was young I was looking for the hidden Treasure and I never found it.” The children went to the water well and behind the well they found a crooked stone and pulled it out and found a key.
Peter, Jennie and Charlie had lunch at Jennie’s mum’s house, after lunch they went outside to play chasey and Jennie found a trail that lead to a door. Charlie and Peter pushed the door open.
“I have never seen this before” said Jennie “let’s go inside” Said Peter
“Ok” replied Charlie “There are a lot of stairs, spider webs and spiders.”
“Look what I found, I found a door on the wall beside the stairs” whispered Charlie. “Push it “said Peter.
