The Stormy Night
Their names are Cody and Jack and they were out on a boat one day going on a treasure hunt. While they were on their boat they crashed into the biggest rock out in the sea. Their boat broke into five pieces and so they saw the fifth piece from the boat and they grabbed it so they won't drown. Cody asked Jack, "What are we going to do?" Jack said, "We are going to swim with the raft." As they were swimming it started to rain and it got dark. It was cold in the water and so they were scared. But they brought the treasure map. "Wow!" cried Jack "I wanted that map with me." "Well there is a boat heading toward us" said Cody. "That's a plane." said Jack. "Sheesh." Jack said. "Look, there's another plane coming right towards us!" said Jack. Cody said, "That's a boat headed straight towards us." Jack says, "Ah man." The boat finally reached them after the boys had been in the water for 3 hours. There were 10 men in the boat. The boys thought that the ten men would take them to the treasure island. Cody and Jack asked the men if they would take them to treasure island. The men said, "We don't know the way, we need to see a map." Cody says, "We have a map!" Then Jack says, "There are two maps." The first map was wrong, the second map is right so they go to the island which was only one mile away. When they get to the island they realized the first map is the one needed to find the treasure chest on the island, the second map was to find the island. The ten men wait in the boat while Cody and Jack follow the map to the chest. They had to walk through the jungle and sand. It was crazy that there were no animals. Their map leads them to the treasure that was only one minute away. When they got there, there was an X and so they dug. Cody and Jack had to dig for only 5 minutes when they found the treasure. They pulled the box out and the opened it because it wasn't locked because there was no key hole. When they opened it there was only one piece of gold in it! The boys brought the treasure chest with them to the boat. The men asked, "How many pieces of gold was in there?" Cody said, "There was only one piece of gold." The men took the treasure chest and threw it into the water so that pirates can't find it. The harrier arrived and took them back home. Cody and Jack were happy to be home.
