There was a treasure map in my house that led to a secret box. It was my grandpa's box. As a child, my grandpa showed me the box and said, ” You can find this treasure when you are all grown up, and it will be yours to keep." When I was 20 years old, I took a shovel and went out to find the treasure. I sailed on the ocean for 300 days. Finally, I saw an island. I parked the boat on the shore. I took the shovel and followed the map to find the treasure. I searched for the treasure from early morning until dusk, but I couldn't find it. Just when I wanted to give up, I stumbled upon a cave. It was dark. I was tired and so wanted to sleep. I lay my head down and felt a "bump". I hit something. I lit a fire to see what it was. It was a box. I opened the box and saw much gold. Now, I am rich!
