The Treasure At Hilltop

One Saturday, a very humid afternoon at 3' O clock my friend Shmit called me up and said "Why don't we go up to the Sacred Hills and search for Captain Dharak's (da rack) treasure. "We would be pioneers in history". So I shook on it. And he told me to meet him at 4:30 at Tricett Rd.

When I got there he handed me a backpack. And my reply was "Oh it is such a baggage, what is it?". Shmit snapped "A sleeping bag, cookies and some food". Then we set off. "I hope we see something sensible, I said. Later after a miles walk we stopped for food. Then Shmit said we should not move in haste.

As we walked we heard a howl. "I think it was the wind", Shmit said. "But wind cant be that loud". We heard a growl. Then something came to sight at once...A wolf.

"Get out your shotgun". I quickly reached in my backpack and got out the gun. I shakingly aimed at the wolf...and Bang !!! I have shot the wolf.

And then we ran. Ran till we could not see the place where all this happened. Of course we ran out of breath as well. After running away from the wolf, something hard hit my foot. "I think we should start digging" I proposed. And after that came to view a four-feet-ten chest. "Where is the key?" Shmit cried out. "Here, it was laying on the ground." I said as I gave him the key.

We opened the chest. We could not believe our eyes. It was filled with antiques. For instance a ten inch gold vase and a diamond ring and lot many small trinkets. I think we found something...amazing. This just made our day.

Epilogue: We gave the chest and the antiques to the museum. In return they gave us a lifetime pass for the museum.
