Charles was on an expedition to find ancient gold in South America. Every night before they went to bed Charles played a little musical tune on his viola. Every day they searched and they searched but they couldn’t find the gold. One day they decided to go a bit further than usual. They forgot where they were going and got lost. They walked everywhere but they were just getting more lost. Then Charles thought of a wonderful and smart idea. There were four of them so each would walk north, south, east or west. If they found the ship they would light a fire and the others would follow it. Charles’ plan worked and they all got back safely but never found the gold.

A great hook with your opening sentence Tomás! The use of the word 'expedition' peaked my interest! The smart idea was really smart! I would love to know how you as the writer thought of this idea??! A story/legend from History? Or perhaps from a story you have read? It was a brilliant resolution to the problem! I liked too that you didn't give it the 'perfect' ending by having them find the gold.. sometimes the adventure should be the reward!! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
