You were on a cruise in the Pacific Ocean with your classmates when, out of a sudden, there was a strong thrunderstorm and a wild wind which made the ship capsize. After battling with all your might, you managed to reach a safe shore only to discover that you are the only survivor in a desert island.
​
At first, life is very boring there since there is no one else to talk to or play with. After a few weeks, you see some pirates reaching the shore unloading a heavy chest.
You are so afraid that you hide behind a palm tree. However, you feel curious too and spy on what the pirates do with the big and heavy chest. Is is a treasure? Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, pearls and lots and lots of gold and silver!
The pirates hide the chest. As you watch carefully, you try to fix the exact position of the treasure chest on your mind. When the pirates leave the island, you run to the spot. You feel buttleflies in your stomach. You can´t believe what is happening to you. You thought this only happened in films!
