here was an old woman standing in front of the grave. It’s raining heavily; however, the
lady didn’t care about the rain and looked sadly at the grave. She’s holding a bunch of
flowers for long. She didn’t speak a word.
Annie, a famous and talented writer in the city, everyone loved her writing. One
quiet night, she’d a date with her boyfriend, Jack who was an explorer and adventurer. A white
limousine stopped at Annie’s front yard. Jack stepped out with a bright smile. Annie was shocked
with tons of questions in mind. But, Jack just hushed Annie to get on the limo and asked her to
wait patiently.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jack asked, “Well, we’ve been in a relationship for a long
time, Annie, would you marry me?” Annie muttered, “Oh my gosh!” She rushed herself to the
lady’s room, she talked to herself in front of the mirror, “Relax, just think if you want to spend
your life with this man, and the thing is you both love each other. Phew!” She went back to her
seat, “My answer is YES!” She hugged Jack tightly. Jack was extremely happy and he told Annie
about his plan, “I want you to be the part of my dream.” He continued, “My next exploration is
Gobi Desert. Please come with me, Ann.”
Annie wasn’t sure but she only wanted to follow the man whom she loved.
Before starting their exciting adventure, they had a wonderful wedding party. Annie knew
that she’d have no regrets in her life.
Jack believed that there were lots of mysteries in the Gobi and he thought he might be able to
find something valuable. And, Annie looked forward to having her first visit and she decided to
note down what they would be experiencing in the Gobi.
One day, she looked through from the telescope, she saw something sparkling on the sand. She
shouted loudly, “Jack! I found a golden key! And there is something old like a map too!” Jack rode
on the camel hurriedly and said, “It’s interesting. It could be something leading us to the treasure.”
They’d already spent more than five months in the Gobi; however, they couldn’t find anything
special, they thought the Gobi was spectacular. Both of them had the same spirit to keep finding
clues from the old map.
Again, they studied the map carefully, suddenly, a strange voice breaking the silence,
“Hidden Land.”
Jack was shocked, “Ann, did you say anything?” Annie shook her head seriously. Shortly, the
whispering voice muttered again, “Hidden Land. I’ll take you to go there.” Annie asked, “Are we
having an illusion?” Jack thought positively instead, “Good things may happen.”
“I’ll take you to Hidden Land when the sun rises,” the voice whispered into their ears.
Annie doubted, “The map will take us to a good place, won’t it?” Jack replied, “Yes, I believe
so.” They fell into a deep sleep with lots of hopes in their mind.
When Annie woke up, she found that the key and map were not in her pocket. She gasped,
“Wait! Are those gray wolves?” She found herself was tied by a chain of rope, she yelled, “Let me go!
Jack! Help me!” There was no response, only a pack of wolves were staring at her hungrily. Then, an
old man appeared. He held the key and said angrily, “I’ve been here to look for this key and map for
ages. The treasure is mine.” Annie grabbed the twig behind her to try to grind the rope.
