The Unexpected Treasure Hunt
意外な宝探し
英語ストーリー
It was a rainy Saturday. Liam was bored, stuck inside his apartment. Suddenly, he found an old wooden box tucked away in his attic. Inside, was a faded letter from his grandfather, along with a strange map. The letter described a treasure hunt, leading to a hidden family heirloom – a vintage pocket watch. The map showed a route around the local park, with clues marked by specific trees and landmarks. Liam, intrigued, grabbed his raincoat and set off. Following the cryptic clues, he searched for a large oak tree near the pond. Underneath, he found a small, sealed envelope containing the next clue. This led him to a statue of a bird, where he discovered a small key. Finally, the key unlocked a small compartment in a rock near the park's entrance. Inside, nestled in velvet, was the antique pocket watch. It wasn't just a watch; it was a connection to his family history, a tangible piece of the past, and a surprisingly exciting end to a rainy Saturday.
