 The Best Holiday Ever!

       Julie and Johnny were on holiday in Cornwall with their parents. It was the sunniest day so far, so they decided to go and play on the beach. They were very excited, so they ran all the way there.

       At the beach they unpacked their things. “Let’s play tennis!” said Johnny. They got out their racquets and a ball and started to play. Johnny hit the ball so hard that it went behind some rocks. Julie ran off to find it. As she looked for the ball, she saw something strange behind the rocks. It was an old wooden box. She opened it and found an old map inside.

       Julie took the map to Johnny. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “This is the most amazing thing in the world! Let’s take it to the local museum”, he said. The man at the museum was very pleased. He said that it was the oldest map in the country. It showed where to find a chest full of treasure. 

       The next day, the local newspaper interviewed Julie and Johnny about their exciting discovery. They felt very proud. “We are going to be the most famous children in our school!” they said. “This was the best holiday ever!”
