The Stolen Treasure of Doom St Margarets Co-Educational English Secondary and Primary School, Wong, Starrie - 8 Once upon a time there were three sailors called Sun. Moon and Day. They liked to use their collected treasures to help poor people all over the world. One day, they fought their enemy Captain Richard. They won and not only took over his empire but also all the valuable including gold and silver coins. This time they decided to bring them on their voyage to help the poor people. They sailed for almost a month without spotting land. Suddenly they saw a mysterious land with bright green palm trees, shiny sand and also brown coconut trees. They slowly sailed to the mysterious land and prepared to take rest. After a long day, Sun got on the sail boat and decided to use a telescope to see the beautiful scenery. Moon wanted to see and checked their valuable treasures. When she opened the treasure box she found it had all disappeared! They all felt terrified. They went to the boat cockpit and continued to sail and look for their missing treasure. Sun, Moon and Day passed a lot of countries on their journey like China, Russia, Britain and Japan. They asked different people where the treasure may be. In japan, a man called Jun who was also a sailor and lived in a dense forest for over a hundred years said “Maybe the treasure is in a cave, but there is a horrible sea dragon inside”. Sun asked, “Where is the cave?” Jun said, “The cave is inside a village, there is smoke and a haunting sound coming out! Be careful, the sea dragon is very powerful and no one can defeat it.” Moon thanked him, and they continued their journey to find the treasure. They walked across the land, climbed over mountains and after a few days they spotted a dark and gloomy cave. Moon and Day decided to courageously go into the cave and search for the treasure. After a while, they heard a strange and horrible ROAR! They followed the sound to see if the treasure was there. Suddenly the sea dragon came out. It was humungous with long, pointy and sharp tail. It was dark black and its eyes were dark green. Moon whispered, “Hey, the treasure is behind the sea dragon!” Day jumped on its sail and Moon jumped on its neck. They cooperated together and hit the sea dragon as hard as they could. The sea dragon used its big mouth to breathe lightening fire. Moon was hurt, but Day stabbed his sword into the sea dragons’ skull. They quickly grabbed the treasure and rushed back to their ship. They were so happy that they were bursting with joy. Later, they shared their treasure with poor people across the world. Together they continued their adventurous journey.
