The Hidden Treasure

Two boys were playing in the back yard. One decided to dig a hole under the house. He wanted to trap people in their scary basement. While they were digging they found a treasure map. “Wow!” they said. The treasure was on an island, Australia.
The boys went to a pilot, and offered to pay him with gold coins after they found their treasure. He flew them there. As they followed the map, they found a forest. A boy ran by, saying, “Don’t go in there! There is a skeleton in there!” The boys were not afraid, and went on in. They found the spot and got out their shovels. They dug up the treasure. Then they met a skeleton that said, “Put me treasure back!” The boys said, “ If you come back with us we could make the ultimate scary house! We’ll pay you two gold coins!” The pirate skeleton said, “Only if they have a 10 on them!” The boys agreed. As they left the forest with their treasure, they met the scared boy again. He asked how they got the skeleton to come with them. They said, “We paid him two ten-gold coins!”
The boys paid the pilot and flew back home. The skeleton and the boys put on parachutes and jumped out over their house. They dug down to their basement and put the skeleton inside. “Tomorrow is Halloween. When you hear people coming, say ‘Aaarrr!’ and scare them! We’ll make sure they come in. This will be the perfect trap. It will be a rubber hole gag – they will fall in and you will get them!” said the boys.
The next day was Halloween, and the whole neighborhood fell into the trap. The boys were happy because they got all the candy, which they shared with the skeleton. They couldn’t wait to do it again the next year.
