"Wow! Look what I found!" I cried. "I found a treasure map! It leads us to a key and then to the treasure!" First, we went to where the key was. We walked past the rushing river, which was at the other side of the forest.
Aaaaaaahhhhh! There was a dangerous and scary looking tiger! We noticed a horse nearby so we jumped on it and rode it away from the ferocious tiger!
Finally we found the golden key and the treasure box was next to a gigantic rock on top of the high mountain!
Nick made a wooden shovel. With it, we dug the treasure up. Suddenly, Josh became very greedy! He grabbed the treasure and darted away as fast as a cheetah! He even pushed me down the mountain so that I couldn't take the treasure back!
Josh quickly grabbed a wooden hammer from a shed. When he was about to smash the treasure box, I called the Police and had Josh thrown in jail.
Nick and I donated the treasure and the key to the museum. We were rewarded with one million dollars! What a fantastic find!
