The cave was in Europe and it was far West . Melody packed warm clothes and shoes . For food she packed rice and meat , and she drank milk .

Then she started her journey to the cave . She arrived at the cave and she started going in . The cave was dark and creepy , and it was also very cold . She once heard that it is very dangerous in the cave . But she didn ’ t see any dangerous things , so she kept going in .
But , after a while , she started to see a dark shape in the cave . The dark shape was a steep and high wall . She didn ’ t have a rope to climb up the wall , so she started to look for something that could help her get up the wall . She looked and looked and after a long hour she found an old rope , and she put the rope on the wall and started climbing . It was hard work , but she kept on climbing the wall .
She finally got to the top of the wall and she started to go down to the other side . Then when she reached the other side , she had to cross a maze . In the maze there were all types of monsters . Melody was so scared she shivered , but she didn ’ t give up . She started to cross the maze , but she came to a dead end . At the dead end , their stood a monster ! Melody was terrified , that she started to scream so loudly that the monster ran away scared .

Melody was looking at the key , then something patted Melody on the back . Melody almost jumped , but she turned around and saw a monster . Melody ran as fast as her feet could carry her , then she saw a clue and stopped . The clue was on a piece of paper . Melody read the clue , the clue said a treasure was hidden in a secret place in the cave . Melody was desperate to find the treasure , so she looked for something that looked like a secret passage .
