A TREASURE WAS HIDDEN IN A CAVE

 

                                            A TREASURE WAS HIDDEN IN A CAVE                                                                                                                                                                                               

I walked and walked through the green thick. A cold breeze went through me, drifting across my hair. Chirruping and chittering filled my ears. The silence was following me as a companion. There came a cute little bunny bouncing. My throat was getting dried. The sound of the stream was getting closer and closer. Finally, I found, the clear and transparent tributary. I took a handful of water and spooned it into my mouth. It went through my throat which made it wet and smooth.

The forest was getting dark. There I saw a rocky dome-like structure. I stepped towards it. It was a dark and mysterious cave. I lighted up my torch. I went inside, slowly and quietly. Suddenly, thousands of bats came toward me. I sat on my knees, covering my head with my hands. After a couple of minutes again the silence spread out. I moved forward. The surrounding became darker. My torch seems to be dull. There was a door after a few steps  I slowly unlocked it. There, I found a beautifully decorated box. It was locked and I tried to unbolt it with some hard stones. My mind was restless with curiosity. Inside, a cover saying “ most valuable treasure ever ’’ was laid. I slowly uncovered it. I was excited to see what was inside. It was my family picture.

 I woke up from my slumber and sprinkled some water on my face. I wish that this dream may come true…
