“What shall we do now?”, asked Fred, who was the youngest. “I know!” I said. “Let's play pirates!”. We all agreed it was a very good idea. “I will be Long John Silver!” shouted Tom. “And we will be the pirates who find the treasure!”, I shouted.
There were many small caves on the beach and Fred and I ran into the biggest. At first, I was afraid because it was very dark and we couldn't see anything. Fred then told me he had a torch. “That's good!” I said. 'Now we can see where the treasure is!' Then I began to look for gold and silver in the sand.
