Many hundreds of years ago，the moon was a mystery to people on the earth．What was that glowing ball came out at night？Why did it keep getting smaller，then larger？Why didn't it fall from the sky？Through the ages，people have tried to come up with answers．

To the native people of Bolivia，in South American，the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth．The Abaluyian people of Kenya，in Africa，believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky．In other parts of the world，people believed they saw different pictures in the moon．The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket．The Chinese saw a road．

People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar．In fact，in some languages，the word for moon meant "month"．A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13moons，or months．Each moon had a name，such as Moon of Black Cherries，Moon of Green Corn，and Moon of Severe Cold．

Though people of the past found the moon was helpful，mysterious and interesting，they didn't know much about it．They only knew what they could see with their own eyes．

Then almost 400years age，an Italian acientist named Galileo made a new telescope（望远镜） that was more powerful than any telescope made before．Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon．He discovered that the moon was not the smooth，shiny ball．The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains．The flat areas were lower，which is why they appeared darker．

As more people saw the moon through telescopes，they discovered more about it．Yet，people still had much to learn about the moon．

"Neville is my brother，"Sir Henry continued，"about five years ago，my brother and I quarreled，Soon after this，our father died．I am the elder son，and I got everything．I wanted my brother to apologize to me．He didn't，and so I gave him nothing．With the little money he had，he left England for South Africa．I wrote to him several times，but I received no replies．Perhaps，he never got my letters．I don't know．But as time passed，I worried more and more about him．"

"Mr．Quatemain，will you please tell me everything you know about him？"

"King Solomon's Mines!" Sir Henry screamed．"I have never heard of it．where are they？"

"Then one evening a Portuguese（葡萄牙人）．Jose Silvester．came to my camp and asked to stay the night．The next day he said．‘When we meet again．I shall be the richest man in the world．"

"A week or more passed，Jose Silvester came back but he was ill badly．I took him into my tent．The next morning when I awoke．He was looking at the mountains．‘There it is!' he cried，‘but I shall never get there．I am dying'"．

"He took out an old map to me，'This map has been in my family for hundreds of years，'he said，'it will make you the richest in the world．'Then he died．"

I took the map out of my pocket and passed to Sir Henry．Sir Henry read the writing："Fam Silverter．I am in a cave north of the mountain．I am dying of hunger．With my own eyes I have seen the diamonds in Solomon's treasure cave behind the white Death．If you do find it，you will be a rich man!"

I took back the map and put it in my pocket．

"It is an amazing story．"Sir Henry said．
