Patty the pirate has always dreamed of finding gold.

Yesterday, she found a treasure map. After reading the
map, she jumped in her ship and set sail for the land
marked with a big “X”. Later that day, when she reached
the land, she began to dig. Suddenly, her shovel hit
something hard. It was a large wooden chest. When she
open the lid, it was filled with sand. In the end, Patty was
disappointed that she didn’t find a gold but happy because
she had an adventure.
