Marcus found an old map in his attic. The yellowed paper showed his neighborhood with a big X marked in the park. "This must be a treasure map!" he exclaimed. He grabbed his backpack and rushed to tell his best friend, Lily.
Lily studied the map carefully. "According to this, the treasure is buried under the big oak tree by the pond." The two friends ran to the park with a small shovel. When they reached the oak tree, they began to dig carefully in the soft soil.
After digging for several minutes, Marcus's shovel hit something hard. "I found it!" he shouted. They pulled out a metal box. Inside, they discovered old coins, colorful marbles, and a note that read: "Congratulations, future treasure hunters! I buried this in 1985."
Marcus and Lily were thrilled with their discovery. They decided to add some of their own special items to the box and rebury it for someone else to find someday. They made a new map with better clues, hoping to create the same excitement for future adventurers.
