THE TREASURE

 

The first day of the year in London meant a lot for Mike Adams. He was very nervous about going to Westminster Abbey with his parents. He loved the monument because he had learnt a lot of the monument’s history at school. Mike was an interested boy because every place he visited gave him knowledge that he could share with his classmates. While he and his family were inside the Abbey, being interested in the most valuable objects, suddenly, Mike saw a small object on the floor. An hour later, when they returned home, the boy searched for information about the object: it was a gold and valuable coin. His little brother, Sam, was as interested as him and he saw his brother with the object. He asked Mike: “Oh, that’s incredible, can you show it to me, please?” Mike was uncomfortable at that moment because he didn’t want to share things with anybody. Then, his brother added: “I will tell our mom that you have this object unless you show it to me”. They had to go to school and Mike took the object with him. Later, his Maths teacher caught him red-handed with his treasure and called his father. From this moment onwards, Mike must do community services as a form of punishment.
