THE TREASURE HUNTTHE TREASURE HUNT

Yesterday, Captain Black Eye reached Treasure Island on his ship, the Happy Hannah. His parrot, Pip was with him. Captain Black Eye had a treasure map. He followed the clues on the map until he arrived at the river. Captain Black Eye looked all around him.

But it was Pip who saw the three palm trees first. Pip flew to the palm trees and the pirate captain followed him. He took the treasure map out of his pocket and looked at it again. Yes! This was the right place. Captain Black Eye found the treasure chest exactly where it was on the treasure map.
