To The Park

Huda Ilyas

One day I went to the park
      There I saw a mark

It was a cross sign
     I followed it and walked on the line …

The park was very big and so the line was
I got tired by walking and then I paused.

The line ended to another cross.
      I saw a box, first I thought that it was time loss.

I took the box inside.
Then I opened the box to see what was inside.

Inside the box was a key and a map
It was a treasure but I was tired so I decided to take a nap

Then I woke up and followed the map
It was sunny so I took my cap

I walked to a lake
There I sat to eat my cake

The map ended there
Also the time I had to care

I got a treasure box
It didn't have any locks

I opened the box to see what was there
But only I could see was a teddy bear.

From this incident I learnt one thing. In this life you will not be receiving treasure on the way because you are not in any fairy tale.
