`Welcome!´ says Philip Cummins ironically, who arrived in his 

private helicopter. `We've been waiting ages for you! Time is 

precious for me and I can't waste it!´

`Excuse me, but who are you?!´asks Sonia angrily.

`Nice to meet you, I´m Philip Cummins! I´m responsible for this 

archaeological find. I found the ancient city of Karminia today 

and I will excavate it and build the biggest archaeological site in 

the world!´

`What are you talking about?´says Sonia.

`I don't see any witnesses!´answers Philip while his 

assistants take hold of them. `They will make sure you 

disappear. I've already called the press for an 

exclusive interview. Nobody can say who really made 

this finding!´

`I'm not sure about that´says a man, appearing among 

some trees with a camera `My name is Ian Print and 

I'm a journalist from Edinburgh Evening Standard´. 

Philip looks at him, surprised. 

`I've come here to know about the discovery of the 

lost city of Karminia but I've found something more 

interesting´.

`There is some confusion. I'm...´, tries Philip.

`No, there isn't. You three are thieves. The police will 

get in charge of you´

The journalist's assistants catch them. Philip shouts 

`Let me go!´, trying to escape.

`It's fine´, says Simon `They haven't done anything 

serious. They've just followed us´.

The police let them go. Philip looks angrily at Sonia and 

her assistants, then they run away.

`Ok´, says Ian. `How about the expedition?´

The friends told him about the exciting journey and he  

writes down all the details.

Sonia, Simon, Jasmine and Stella go back to Karminia. A 

few days a newspaper reads: 

ARCHAELOGIST DISCOVER LOST CITY, by Ian Print.

`Professor Peng, after many years of hard work and research, 

managed to organize and incredible archaeological expedition on 

Ben Nevis and brought the ruins of the legendary city of Karminia 

out into the open´, says one of her colleagues.

Karminia, the red-roofed city, had disappeared many centuries 

before because of an earthquake. And yesterday Sonia Peng, an 

archaeologist, professor at York university, found it after a hard 

search with her assistants.

But this is not the end of the story. A businessman called Philip 

Cummins was accused of swindling. 

Now, the professor and her assistants are working 

together on a project: 

`I've updated our website. 

www.karminia_bennevis.co.uk...Anyone who visits 

the site will find news, information and interviews! 

You can even take a virtual tour of the city!´, says 

Jasmine. 

`I can't wait to take the first real visitors round!,´ 

adds Stella.  

Philip and his assistants haven't appeared yet. No 

one wanted to negotiate with Philip any more 

because they knew he was dishonest.
