The Mystery of Grandpa’s Treasure Map
by Sy
A boy named Zack was excited to check around his grandpa’s house for fun. When he arrived, he hoped to find a safe with money in it like all other kids. They arrived there at 12:13 pm. Zack saw a closet, so he went in and knocked down some cobwebs and turned the lights on. He saw a wooden dresser and clothes hanging on the walls.
Zack opened the second drawer and saw a map. He thought it was a map of how to get to places. Zack looked closer and it looked like a world map, but to his surprise, it was a treasure map. Zack ran to his parents and said, “Mom! Dad! I found a treasure map.”
Zack’s parents said, “Son, there are no such things as treasure maps.”
Zack decided not to argue and just say ok. When they left, Zack was mad that they did not stay long, but Zack was happy when he found out the start was there back yard. They were home at 1:00pm. While Zack’s parents thought he was sleeping, he was making a plan. He was going to pack coke, coffee, a tent, food, water, and tools.
The next day he went to school. At lunch time, he pretended he had food poisoning. He packed his stuff on his ATV at 5:00pm. He put a note on his parent’s door at 5:05pm, so they would know he was gone treasure hunting. When he left, he went past the big rock over the bridge and through a field when he saw a perfect place to camp.
He gathered sticks and used a lighter to make a good fire. He set his tent up and put his pillow and blanket down and went to bed. The next day he went out of his tent and packed his tent up and drove. He went through some more fields and across a creek, and his tire had popped.
He got out some of his tools including a wireless drill, a wrench, and an extra tire. Zack unscrewed it and put on a new tire. He put the screws in and rode. He came across a lake, so he cut down some trees and tied and nailed them together to make a raft. Zack secured his ATV to the raft and went across the lake.
He saw a red x up ahead, so he untied his ATV and drove to the x. He got a shovel and started digging, and after a lot of digging he hit something metal. Zack paused he thought this is it I’m rich, and after digging around he saw a safe. Zack cracked it open, and there were stacks of money.
The End
