THE CHOCOLATE TREASURE

Danai Zaire

One day in April I decided to fish in the small lake near my house, but when I got there I realised that I had forgotten my bait, so I started to search for worms. Suddenly I found a worm-eaten map. I looked at it carefully and realised that it was a map of the village I lived in. I called my five friends and we went to the place marked on the map.

First we went to find the "red tree", which was an apple tree. From there we took the small path near the tree and we saw a river. We crossed it with the help of some rocks and then we looked at the map. It said "look under the boat". We saw a boat and we went up to it. First Bob found a key. We said a big "Yeesss!" and we started again.

We walked along a path into the forest and finally we found a little house. It was dark in there. We opened a window and we started to look for the treasure.

Five minutes later Nick said "Hey, Danai, come here please!" I ran there and I saw a big mouldy bar. He had found it in the fire place. We opened it and we saw a paper which said "Congratulations! Now the treasure is yours! Enjoy it!" "It's chocolate!" said Mary. "Yes, it is!" We ate all the chocolate and we went back home happily.
