One summer day, John was walking along a beach. As he walked, he noticed a bottle. He decided to pick it up and open it. Inside the bottle was a note. It said, Come to my secret cave and find the hidden treasure. Follow the map.

John was excited and confused. He decided to go and find the secret cave and the hidden treasure. After walking for several hours, he found the entrance of a cave. He had a torch with him so he decided to go inside and explore.

The cave was dark and slippery. John slowly made his way through the winding passages until he came to a room with a big chest in the middle. He opened the chest and discovered a lot of gold and jewels. John couldnt believe his eyes. He then looked around the room to spot a map. Sure enough, there it was, pinned to the wall.

John followed the map, making sure to mark important places in a notebook he was carrying. After two hours, he reached his destination and saw a large rock. He started to climb it but at the top he stumbled upon a door.

Inside was a room filled with even more treasure. John couldnt believe his luck. He had hit the jackpot.

John was so exhausted from all the exploring he had done that night that he decided to lay down and rest. In the morning, he gathered the treasure and headed back home. When he arrived, his family was astonished to see the wealth he had found.

Where on earth did you find such a treasure? they asked.

John then told them about the secret cave and the map he had found in the bottle. Im sure glad I followed the map, he said.

He then donated to charity some of the treasure he had found.

Johns story went around the town and it wasnt long before everybody was going on walks along the beach in hope of finding their own bottle with a note inside.

Johns story has definitely been a lesson to many. A lesson that everyone should follow. A lesson that sometimes taking a risk can reward you greatly, and a lesson to never give up.
