Chapter 1: The Secret Map

One sunny morning, Tom goes to his grandpa's house. His grandpa has a big, old house. It is a very interesting place.
Tom loves to explore it.

Tom says, "Grandpa, can I go to the attic?" The attic is up, up, up in the house. It is like a secret place.

Grandpa says, "Yes, but be careful."

Tom climbs the stairs. They make noise. "Creak, creak, creak." Tom looks around in the attic. There are many old
things. There are boxes and old clothes. There are books and pictures.

Tom sees a small, brown box. It is under a blue blanket. "What is this?" he thinks. He opens the box. Inside, there is
a map.

The map is old and yellow. It has pictures of trees and a river. It shows a path. The path goes through a forest. At the
end of the path, there is an 'X'. "X marks the spot," Tom says. He knows 'X' means treasure.

Tom feels excited. His heart goes "thump, thump, thump." He wants to find the treasure.

Tom runs to Grandpa. He shows him the map. Grandpa smiles. "That is an adventure map," Grandpa says. "I used it
when I was young."

Tom asks, "Is the treasure real?"

Grandpa says, "Yes, but no one finds it. It is a game. It is fun to look."

Tom wants to play this game. He wants to look for the treasure.
"I will find the treasure," Tom says.

Grandpa laughs. "Okay, Tom. Go on an adventure."

Tom gets ready. He puts on his boots. Boots are good for walking in the forest. He takes a small bag. He puts water
and a sandwich in the bag.

Tom stands at the door. He feels happy. He feels brave. Today is Tom's big day out.

He looks at the map. He starts to walk. He follows the path to the forest.

Tom walks into the forest. The trees are tall. The leaves are green. Birds sing. "Tweet, tweet." Squirrels run. "Scurry,
scurry."

Tom follows the map. He turns left. He turns right. He goes straight. He is looking for the treasure.

Tom is on an adventure. It is a big day out. What will he find? He does not know. But he wants to find out.

This is the start of Tom's story. What will happen next?

Chapter 2: The Friendly Squirrel

Tom walks under the big trees. The forest is big. The trees are green and tall. Tom looks at his map. He is not sure
where to go.

"Where is the treasure?" Tom thinks.

Then, he hears a noise. "Chatter, chatter." Tom looks up. What is that?

It is a squirrel. The squirrel is small and brown. It has big, bright eyes. It looks at Tom. The squirrel is not afraid. It
is friendly.

"Hello," Tom says to the squirrel. He smiles.

The squirrel comes closer. It stands on a rock. It looks at Tom's map.

"This is Max," Tom says. He gives the squirrel a name. "Hello, Max."

Max the squirrel chatters. "Chatter, chatter." It sounds like he is talking to Tom.

Tom shows the map to Max. "I am looking for treasure," Tom tells Max.

Max looks at the map. Max knows the forest. He knows all the trees and rocks. He knows the rivers and the flowers.

Max points with his little paw. He wants to help Tom.

"Will you help me find the treasure?" Tom asks.

The river is wide. The water moves fast. "Splash, splash," says the river.

Tom looks at Max. "How do we go over?" he asks.

Max looks at the river. He looks at the trees. Max has an idea.

Max runs to the trees. Tom follows. They find logs. Logs are big pieces of wood. The logs are on the ground.

"We can make a raft," Tom says.

A raft is like a big, flat boat. It can float on the water.

Max brings the logs. Tom helps him. They put the logs together.
Tom has a rope. The rope is long and strong. Tom uses the rope to tie the logs. He makes knots. Knots hold the logs
together.

Chapter 4: The Singing Birds

Tom and Max walk through the forest. The trees are tall. The leaves make shadows.

Tom hears music. It is not from a radio. It is from the birds.

"Tweet, tweet," sing the birds.

The birds are in the trees. They are high up. The sky is blue. The birds look small.

Tom looks at Max. "The birds sing," he says.

Max looks up. "Chatter, chatter," Max talks to the birds.

The birds sing louder. "Tweet, tweet."

Tom listens. The birds sound happy. But they also sound like they want to say something.

"It is a clearing," Tom thinks.

They walk to the clearing. But there is a problem. The ground is not hard. It is soft. It is mud.

The mud is thick. It sticks to Tom's boots.

"We cannot walk here," Tom says.

Max nods. The mud is too deep.

The birds sing again. "Tweet, tweet."

"Thank you, birds," Tom says.

Max says, "Chatter, chatter."

"The treasure is near," Tom says.

Max looks at the mountain. It is big. It is rocky.

"We must climb," Tom says. Max nods.

There is a box. It is old and wooden.

Tom opens the box. Inside, there is paper.

"It is a clue!" Tom says.

Max comes close. He looks at the paper.

The clue is short. "Look for the biggest tree," it says.

Tom thinks, "What does it mean?"

Max chatters. He thinks too.

They go out of the cave. They look at the forest below.

Many trees are there. But one is bigger. It is very big.

"That must be it," Tom says.

Max looks at the big tree. He agrees.

They must go to the big tree.

Tom and Max go down the mountain. Down, down, down.

Tom stops. He sees something. It is a hole. The hole is at the bottom of the tree.

"What is in there?" Tom thinks.

"There is more," Tom says. He feels paper.

He pulls out the paper. It is a note.

A chest is a box. It can hold treasure.

Max's eyes are bright. He is ready to find the chest.

They must look for it. But where?

Tom looks at the map. The map is quiet. It has no more clues.
