chapel, the lords’ houses, a church and
even a deep well.
When they had crossed the draw bridge
they pushed at the huge gates. To their
surprise it wasn’t locked and they walked
in. In the court they were looking around.
There was a kitchen with a tall chimney, but
no smoke. Everything looked as if nobody
lived there. When they knocked at the door
of the palace, it again wasn’t locked and the
boys entered.
Suddenly, after they had walked a few
steps towards the stairs, they heard a
noise. They turned around, and there was
a man, the lord of the castle. He seemed
nice and he smiled. “Hello, welcome to my
castle. I am Duke Friedrich, but you can call
me Notch. You are welcome to look
around! But remember: You can go
everywhere, but not in the cellar of the
castle! I must go now! See you later, boys.”
Alex thought: “I want to see everything…!
I`ll go in the cellar, maybe there are some
secrets, or maybe even a treasure.”
Ten minutes later they went to the cellar.
As they came down the steps they saw
some chests. They opened one and saw
some DIAMONDS! Alex and Steven
shouted: “YAHOO! We’re rich!”
Suddenly the Lord ran into the cellar, and
he was very angry! He shouted: “You broke
my rules!? Give me my treasure.” But Alex
and Steve took the chest and ran with the
diamonds out of the door into the hall.
Then they thought they saw a shadow, but
nothing else. Suddenly the friends heard a
quiet voice: “Should I help you?” “Yes
please,” said Steve.
“Who are you? Are you a ghost?” Alex said
“I`m Ghosti, the ghost.”, he said, “jump on
my back, I know a secret way out of the
castle”. They jumped on his back and
Ghosti carried them through a secret door
out of the castle.
When they got down from his back, Steve
wanted to thank Ghosti. But then he heard:
“Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.” It was his alarm clock. He
woke up and thought: “Only a dream?” He
ran into Alex room. Alex woke up. They had
dreamed the same dream! Maybe the
dream was real, who knows?
