Dear Diary,
Today is not a day like any other. My father’s death, with whom I have always shared this wonderful passion for
travel over the ocean, causes me so much pain. This is why, dressed in black, we came together to wish him good
luck in heaven. My wife and I went to my mother’s, Karima. We ate, we returned and then, I spent a long time facing
the sea.
I remembered my first day working with my old friend Darius, cleaning windows, vacuuming, tidying the room ...
horrible !
I kept working very hard for several months, hoping that one day I could afford my own boat to navigate the ocean.
As the days passed, I became more or more isolated.
One evening, walking along the beach, I saw something sparkling. I dived.
It was a simple chest, with a message inside. In the cave you will find…
I immediately thought to that cave that my father showed to me many years ago. I ran there. On the floor, a letter :
On the hill, you will find….
I went to that hill where we had nice picnics. I found a spade, I started digging and I discovered a new clue. Don’t be
scared !
I looked down and I saw a door. I opened it, I got into that dark underground room. I switched on my flashlight and I
saw a chest. Inside, a letter ! He who finds this money, will sail the seas and the oceans !
I walked trying to understand when I tripped over a piece of wood. Immediately, the wall just in front of me opened,
and I discovered lots and lots of gold.
The next morning, I gave up my job, I bought a huge boat and I left to sail around the world.
I never talked about this to anyone. But years passed and I realized that nothing was accidental. My father gave me
the greatest gift !
