dropping. It was icy cold at the night time in a desert. The kids were all freezing.
A sudden wind nearly blew the animals off their paws. It whistled round and round the rock
in a rage. Jake looked up and saw the moon slip behind a cloud, and everywhere was dark and
gloomy. As they were shivering, they saw a small hut about a mile away. So they all ran towards
it. They went inside but nobody was there. It was still very cold. But at least, they got shaded
off from the wind. The three of them cuddled together for warmth and survived the cold night.
The next morning, the kids set off again and headed for the treasure. But they were tired and all
walked in very slow motion. Sam mumbled, “I miss dad and mum. I want to go back home.” Jake
said, “Me too. I miss dad very much.” Zach tried to encourage his companions, “Let’s cheer up and
run faster. We are getting close to our destination.” They were chatting and running and taking
rests. Time flied. It was evening again. They were very scared that they had to face the freezing
night again! But luckily, it was over. Not too far away, they saw their parents waiting for them
at the door of a house. The kids burst into tears. They had found the real treasure – the parents
whom they missed so much and loved so much. They all hugged each other.
