Tuesday the twelfth was my birthday. I 16 a day of cake and presents 17__ it turned into a day of mystery(神秘). Someone sent a bottle with a letter and a treasure map 18 . It said there was a treasure of over 20 million dollars. I didn’t know if it was a trick(恶作剧) or if I should 19 it. If it was 20 , it would be the best present I had ever got. I decided to 21 . Two of my friends came and we rented a truck. 22 , I thought about turning back twice during this trip, but I didn’t think it was a 23 decision for me to make. I 24 to give this trip twice the effort(努力) I had been putting in. This would take all my trust in order for me to find the 25 .
“The map says you have to turn when you see a large stone with a red circle,” said one of them.
“What do we do after the turn?” I asked 26 .
“It says we should see a tree. We are 27 to turn 20 meters north of it and dig.
We got there and dug. We had 28 at first digging but we got better and worked very 29 . My trousers were dirty but I kept digging 30 I hit something. It was a large metal box. We 31 the lock and looked inside. There was a letter. It read:
“The lesson you have learned will be very 32 . If you put as much 33 in anything you do as you did in finding the 34 , you will have found the key to making over 20 million dollars.”
This was a trick from my parents. I thought I would never forget this 35 birthday present.
