Last summer my friends and I  met in Crete, a beautiful Greek island .While we were swimming in the sea, the waves brought a  bottle!!!!! 

In the bottle there was a piece of paper . We opened it and we saw a treasure map. 

We were excited so  we decided to follow the instructions to find the treasure. The treasure was in another Greek island named  Ithaki in the Ionian Sea . 

The next day we got on a ship to reach  Ithaki. When we arrived.... ………

When we arrived in Ithaki island we went to find a place to spend the night.We were walking for hours trying to find a place to sleep .When we finally found one ,we set our tent and we went to bed.

It was midnight when we heard a voice from outside saying “Go…..go ,go”We thought we were hallucinating so we went back to sleep without thinking anything about it . But after some minutes we heard the voice again !!We started to freak out !! 

Without thinking of anything like packing our things for example ,we got out of our tent and went to sleep near the sea.

We wake up the next morning and went back to our tent only to find out that it was ripped apart .Our things were in a mess !!!Also inside our tent there were some frightening unhuman footsteps .We decided to follow them!

Steps lead us to the forest. We decided to enter and check whose steps they are. When we went deeper we saw something moving in the bushwood. We got scared very much but we saw that it was just little bird which was flying from the leaves. 

Suddenly an unknown person jumped out from the bush. We came closer and suddenly we saw that it was a small boy whose name was Timothee. 

He looked very sad and scared. He was wearing a lack T-shirt, black trousers and a coat. He had long, brown hair. We saw a some blood stain on his coat. When he saw us he started to ran away. We didn’t know what to do start running after him or lived him alone. After 5 minutes we made some decision that we should chase him as quickly as possible.

We ran after the little boy. “Wait!“ we shouted at him, but he didn’t stop. When we were running, I slipped and fell to the ground. My friends stopped quickly and returned for me. They helped me to stand up. Luckily, my leg was OK, so we kept running. But we didn’t see the boy anywhere. He disappeared. We looked around and after a while, we found his footprints. 

Ten minutes later we found him. He was hiding behind a bush. When he saw us, he wanted to run away from us again, but he couldn’t. There was an abyss in front of him.

We all stopped and waited. The little boy looked really scared and he was looking down to the abyss. No one knew what he was thinking about and what would happen next.

“Hey, wait Timothee. We don’t want to hurt you. We want to help you.“ I tried to calm the boy down.“ “What happened to you?“ ’Don’t come close or I’ll jump from here!’’  shouted Timothee. ‘’OK, please calm down. We just want to help you.  Was it you who ripped apart our tent?’’ asked my friend.  ‘’No, I didn’t do that. On the contrary, I tried to protect your things from it.’’ said Timothee. ‘’It? What is it?’’ we asked Timothee questioningly. ‘

‘’The monster’’ whispered Timothee. ‘’What monster?’’ we shouted dreadingly. ‘’Hush! It can hear you. It is very dangerous and it can kill all of us. ‘’ said Timothee. ‘’Listen Timothee, Let’s meet. My name is Alex. These are my friends, Nick, Philip, Anna and Maria. We came here because we found a treasure map. We are trying to find that treasure. Let’s make a deal. 

You can stay with us, we are crowded and we can protect each other from the monster. You will be safe with us. 

      Alex               Nick            Philip         Anna             Maria

         Timothee 

Also, you can help us to find that treasure and you can get your share from the treasure. What do you say?’’ said Alex. Timothee thought about it, he looked down from the abyss and he looked at us. 

After a few seconds later, ‘’First I have to understand which treasure you mean.If you are talking about the treasure I know, it will be very hard to get it. It may even be impossible.’’ said Timothee. 

‘’We have a map. You can have a look at it.’’ said Nick. Nick gave the map to Timothee

Timothee looked at the map and studied it. ‘’I knew it.’’ said Timothee. ‘’What do you mean?’’ asked Anna. ‘’I know where this treasure is and I can tell you  that this treasure is huge like it can make all of you with your extended family very very rich.’’ said Timothee. ‘

’Hurray!! We will be rich!!’’ shouted Alex and his friends.

 They started to dream about what they will do with the treasure.

’I will buy a luxury villa with a pool’’ said Alex. 

‘’I will buy the latest model car’’ said Nick. ‘

’I will buy lots of chocolate’’ said Philip. 

He was licking his mouth. 

‘’ I will go shopping and buy whatever I want’’ said Anna. 

‘’I will travel all of the world’’ said Maria. All the children were dreaming and they were very excited. Timothee suddenly started laughing. 

I won’t come with you because I don’t want to die. I’m going now I wish you good luck.’’ said Timothee. 

Just then, they heard a voice. They turned back and saw the monster Timothee said. It was running towards them. All the children looked at each other!!!!

The children made friends with Timothee and went to look for treasure which were hidden up in the mountains where the monster lived. They walked for a long time, felt tired and fell asleep under a tree. Next morning they woke up with the first rays of the sun and continued their way. Suddenly they saw a bottle tied to a huge old tree. Timothee could climb well and easily reached the bottle. There was a map inside the bottle with the shortest way to the treasure on it.

Timothee helped them again and showed the way. Then Alex shouted, “Look! The monster!” The friends saw a monster trapped in the bushes. his leg was broken. The children didn’t know what to do: run away or help him. All of them were kind and brave, they helped the poor monster. He took them to his hut and gave the  kids a shiny box with treasures. 

“We’ll be rich!”, thought Nick.

They opened the box and found some pieces of puzzle. After doing it they read the word “Friendship”. “This is the biggest treasure.”, said the monster. “You were brave, kind, helpful and friendly. I’ll give you this golden coin. You can spend money on things you need.”

But the friends didn’t want a luxury villa with a pool, a lot of chocolate, new clothes or the latest model car any more. They decided to buy sweets, toys, games for children who don’t have them, food for stray dogs and a new tent to go camping next summer with Timothee.
