“The Secret Treasure”

This Take Ten to Write story was submitted by 10-year-old Mary. Happy reading!

Rebecca and her best friend Lilly were exploring a cave. Rebecca’s boyfriend, Max, was a scientist, so he had asked her and Lilly to look for some rare jewels in a cave. They looked at their list. They had to find an Emerald, a Sapphire, a Diamond, a Amethyst, and a Topaz. They put on their helmets. Rebecca was wearing a quarter-sleeve top and a polka-dotted skirt, and Lilly had a sleeves off the shoulder top and matching pants. Milly and Isabella were supposed to be coming too, without Max knowing. Milly had on a strapless top and a matching skirt, and Isabella was wearing a short-sleeve dress and leggings. “That’s not appropriate, you two!” Lilly exclaimed, noticing what they were wearing. “You can’t wear that either, Rebecca!” “Look at me, Jade, and Tasha. We’re good role models.” Rebecca noticed Jade’s halter-top and pants, and Tasha’s tank-top, skirt and leggings. Rebbeca, Milly, and Isabella went to change their clothes. They were off! They went into a cave. “Emerald, check! Sapphire, check! Amethyst, check! Diamond, check! But what about the Topaz?” asked Milly. Lilly’s braids flew out behind her. “It’s the rarest of them all!” Lilly exclaimed. They went through tunnels and rode on mine carts, but they could not find the Topaz. Suddenly, they noticed a shiny, glowing light. They walked towards it. It was a treasure chest! Inside, all the jewels they needed, including the Topaz, were inside! They dropped their jewels and gasped. They scooped up armfuls of jewels and carried them to Max. Max examined them carefully. He explained to them facts about each jewel.
