Dear Anna,
You remember John, don’t you? Well, you’ll never believe what happened to us yesterday while we were walking along the beach.
We had breakfast in our usual café and then we began our walk. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and I was feeling very relaxed. John was telling me a story about his childhood, when suddenly, we heard a shout from the cliffs. We looked up and there was a man shouting and waving his hands at us. We couldn’t hear what he was saying, so we waved back. But he kept shouting at us and pointing to the sea.
We stared hard in the direction he was pointing. Eventually, we saw a dark shape and although it was floating, it didn’t look like a boat. John dived into the water and I ran back to the café to get help. The café owner called an ambulance and the police and then we both went back to the shore. John was struggling with this dark shape but we couldn’t see clearly, as the sun was shining directly into our eyes. We just saw John, waving his hands above the water.
Eventually, the ambulance arrived and one of the medics swam out to John. After a few minutes, they reached the shore and lifted a huge wooden box out of the sea. It was a treasure chest, like the ones you read about in pirate books. No one spoke. We just stood there like children, thinking about the treasure inside. When we opened it, to our surprise we saw a trunk full of bottles of rare wine. What a discovery!
I’ll let you know more later.
Take care,
Susan
