THE AFRICAN TREASURE

     There are friends walking along the seaside in Mar de Ajó.  It is spring and the day is sunny. Suddenly, they look at something exceptionally bright. Near  the rocks there is a very old bottle. Inside the bottle there is a piece of paper.  What a surprise! The paper is a map. It is a treasure map!

_Thomas: ”My father read about a lost African treasure in the newspaper”

_Liza:  ”My teacher at school says this story is real!”

_Julie: “She says that there are thieves who want the treasure”

_Nick: ”And the teacher tells that there were pirates  two centuries ago. And they assaulted a ship sent to Uganda and Kenya and robbed a vast treasure”

_Barbara: “ Yes! She tells that a generous king donated the treasure to the poorest in Kenya and Uganda. But in the middle of the ocean the ship was attacked. There was a brave crew. Some men could descend into a boat and kept the treasure safe on a desert island. They put the map into a bottle and nothing else is known!

_Luke: “And we find it!!”
