In a faraway land, in South Africa, there lived a orphan named Mary. She lived with her grandmother in an old stone house. Near the old stone house, there was a dilapidated castle. In ancient days, it was believed that the castle was ruled by the most evil and unpopular king in that country.
Mary was everyday bored to death. Her grandmother was very kind, but she always said that her grandmother was the most boring grandmother anyone could have. She gets bored easily, and poor, poor grandmother didn't know what to do about it.
One sunny day, Mary thought of visiting dilapidated castle. It seemed interesting to explore. She packed herself a small picnic and began her small journey to the dilapidated house. It was actually on the top of a very small hill. It's ceiloceiling was fallen to bits and up the towers the birds lay eggs. There also lived a cat as black as coal.
In ancient days, people said that there was a enormous treasure chest hidden in the dungeons. Mary had planned to check out the dungeons too. But first, she went to explore the upper part of the castle. There was only 1 room in good condition. Mary went to the window and looked out. The sky was now getting dark.
The view from the window was magnificent. Mary looked up the sky. Raindrops were already pouring down. Mary went to the dungeons after that. She meant to hurry up before it started raining heavily. If she found the treasure chest, she would come and take it tomorrow with 4 strong men.
As she reached to the dark dungeons, it started raining cats and dogs. Mary knew that there was no chance of going back home before the rain stops. She explored the dungoen carefully, but to her dissapointment, she found no treasure. She touched the back of the dungeons. Suddenly, she noticed that the back of the dungeon was very soft at one part.
When she looked closely, she found a door-handle like thing hidden away. Curiously, she pulled down the handle and at once, the soft part of the wall slid back, and there was the treasure chest! It filled the little cave it was in.
There was even the key fallen to the floor. Mary searched for the lock and finally found a big golden lock. Impatiently, she turned the key and suprise! There were gold coins, brooches, necklaces, bracelets, cups and other golden things. All GOLDEN!!! There were even shiny diamonds. A person could make a huge fortune by just selling it!
As soon as the rain stopped, Mary went to her granmother. She listened carefully. After Mary had finished, she immediately called the police. In no time, four strong men were bringing the treasure chest to Mary's house. Mary's reward for finding the long-lost treasure
