Section 9
"Let's go back to my house for a cup of hot tea. I'll call your parents so they aren't worried, and we'll see what treasure Sally found." He said.
When they got to Mark's house, they sipped their tea and began unwrapping the treasure. They carefully peeled off layers of old blankets and cloth to reveal a wooden box. They slowly opened it and stared in amazement.
"Oh my," Sally said in disbelief.
"I don't believe what I am seeing."
The boys and Mark's father just stared.
Inside the box were jewels of every color you could imagine. There were diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds of all shapes and sizes.Intermixed they could see several gold coins and strands of pearls. "We're rich," the boys screamed. "Not quite," interrupted Mark's father. "Someone could have lost this and I don't think you should plan on spending any of it until we find out a little more. Besides, Sally found it." "I'll share it," Sally said happily. "That's nice Sally," replied Mark's dad. But the right thing to do is contact the authorities."
