e’re here.” May, Eric, Leo and Annabeth had arrived to find a treasure hidden in
the Gobi Desert. Eric was gazing in his guide book on the page that says “Magic in
the Gobi Desert.” “It says here” Eric read, “That magical stuffs are usually found in
a temple called Damba Daryalan Sum temple.” “It’s in the East of the Gobi Desert.”
“Then what are we waiting for?” cried May. “Let’s go!” So the 4 friends walked East, following
the map in Eric’s guide book. On their way, Annabeth borrowed a camel from a kind man called
Tom. He also showed May & Leo how to build Ger, which are known as Mongolian tents, while
Annabeth & Eric were studying a wild horse.
Tom even offered them a stay in his Ger. “That’s very kind of you, but we need to be going.”
replied Leo. “After we find the treasure, we’ll pay you back for all your kindness.” “And your
camel.” added May. The 4 friends headed to the Damba Daryalan Sum temple. “I Found the fact
page” explained Eric. “There are 10 monks living in the Damba Daryalan Sum temple.” “I think
we’re here” called Annabeth who was not listening to Eric. “Really?” cried Leo, gazing at the
Damba Daryalan Sum temple. It had a huge, gray staircase, leading to the golden gates. “It’s
enormous” cried May. Eric, Annabeth, Leo & May pushed and pulled trying to go in first. Finally
they all tumbled in to the narrow hallway. They all started to walk along in the hallway. They
all remained silent. Nobody said a word. Then, they saw 10 monks praying. “Eric, didn’t it say
on your book that there were 10 monks living in the temple” whispered Annabeth. “It did on
the facts page. You just didn’t listen” Eric whispered back. “Who’s there?” called the monk in
the middle who was named Satri. “Whoever you are come out, we won’t hurt you.” “He looks
kind” said May nervously. “And they might be able to help us with the treasure” agreed Leo. May
pushed Eric to where the 10 monks were. Annabeth, May & Leo followed. “Excuse me, could
you help us?” whispered Leo. “Were looking for a treasure in this temple” Annabeth continued.
“So, do you know where it is?” “Hmmm…” “You have your treasure with you” said Satri, calmly.
“What do you mean?” asked Eric, curiously. “You have your treasure with you” repeated Satri. “It’s
your braveness, kindness & friendship, that is your treasure you found in the Gobi Desrt.” “But,
but how do we pay back Tom if we don’t have money or jewels?” asked May. “You can pay him
back with your kindness to him” said Satri. May, Eric Leo & Annabeth walked down the narrow
hallway, out the Damba Daryalan Sum temple. They were on their way to Tom’s Ger then home,
happy that they found the treasure.
