A different kind of treasure
(1) I was walking home from school on a Thursday
afternoon when I found a strange map. It was a map
of my village, and there was an 'X' on the map. Next to
the 'X' were the words TREASURE HERE!
(2) After I thought about it for a few minutes,
I decided to look for this treasure. The place with
the 'X was not far from my house. I walked for a few
minutes, and when I got to the street where the 'X'
was, I started to hear music.
(3) I continued to walk down the street. When I
arrived at the house, I saw some people in the front
garden. They were standing near a table with a cake
that had gold coins around it. Then, I saw my friend
Carrie. 'Hi, James! You found the party! Come and
have some cake!' Carrie said to me.
(4) "Party? I didn't know you were having a party!
Why does this map say there's treasure? Where did
you get all these gold coins?'When Carrie heard
my questions, she started to laugh. She said the gold
coins weren't real and the treasure was the party.
It was all just a joke. I guess it was a good way to get
people to go to the party!
