Family from Hell- Hidden treasure
My family are
the family from hell! Hi my name
All together
we are a solid group the eldest of us is Ben at 14. Then as follows Kate, Lucy
and Jane at 13, Chris and Carl at 11, Robert and Jamie at 10, Claire and Rachel
at 9, Sally at 8, myself at 7, Amy at 6, then there is David and Sam at 4.
I know I know
there are a lot of multiples in our family but apparently mum was a twin at
birth but her twin died she says she making up for her death.
This adventure
started out as a normal day but soon turned in to a nightmare.
3 days
earlier.
It all started
when mum came in from the garden and was in the kitchen when sally and Amy were
in there.
"Well"
she said, "that’s the little treasures buried"
"What
treasures mum" asked Sally
"You will
have to wait until spring to find out," she said and then she left them to
there own devices. Big mistake!
They ran up
the stairs to tell David and Sam.
"Guess
what" they shouted.
"We know
where the treasure is"
"Where"
shouted Sam
"Yes
where," asked David
"Well I
don’t know if we should tell them do you Amy after all what would we get if we
let them have all the treasure"
"We’d
share it with you wouldn’t we Sam"
"Oh do we
have too"
"Well if
you don’t we wont tell you where it is will we" replied Amy
"Can we
dig it up though?" asked Sam
"Of cause
you can where girls Sam we don’t dig we supervise"
"What’s
super vies Sally"
"It means
we tell you what to do and you do it okay
"Okay"
Replied the twins
First stop was
the sandbox to pick up the buckets and spades.
"Why do
we need spades Amy?" asked Sam
"To dig
with"
"We
usually use our hands to do that" said David
"Well not
today your not you’re going to use spades"
"Okay"
Replied the twins
The second
stop was the kitchen to pick up supplies for the long work ahead
Then straight
on through the kitchen to the front garden where mum had said the treasure was
buried.
"Where we
going to start Amy?" the twins asked
"Look for
soil that looks newly turned"
"Um Amy how do we know it’s new?"
"It will be a darker brown than the rest. Now go do it"
"Okay" Replied the twins
After the
first half an hour all they had come up with was lots of flowers and bulbs. The
twins didn’t want to play any more.
"We don’t
want to play any more we want to play with our trucks now"
"Fine you
were to slow anyway"
Off the boys
went to play with their trucks.
"What we
going to do now Amy"
"We will
get Robert and Jamie to help us there bigger and stronger than David and Sam
any way so we should find it sooner"
Off they went
to find Robert and Jamie. They found them in the living room watching telly.
"Guess
what" said Amy to Robert "We know where the treasure is"
"Where"
"Yes
where,"
"Well I
don’t know if we should tell them do you Sally after all what would we get if
we let them have all the treasure"
"We’d
share it with you wouldn’t we Jamie"
"Yes we’d
let you have a little I suppose"
"Well
that could be fair but you see we would have to do the hard work in telling you
what to do while you dig and that’s hard work you know. It takes it out of you
to supervise"
"Well I
suppose we could give you a little bit more coz you’re doing all the hard work
and we don’t mind doing the digging. Do we Rob?"
"No not
at all"
"Great
come on then"
They all went
out to the garden again and as the boys set to work the girls sat on the grass
and ate the cookies that they had picked up earlier.
"Are you
sure that there is treasure out here Amy because we have been looking for ages
now and haven’t found any" said the boys after half an hour
"Of
course there is we heard mum say there was"
"Well
sorry but our favourite program is about to start and we want to watch it so we
got to go c ya"
"Yes c ya"
"Not
again what is it with these people can’t they do any thing right"
"No who
else can we try?"
"We could
try Chris and Carl"
Yes suppose
so. Come on then"
They found
Chris and Carl in the attic fighting as they usually are. They have a thing
with wrestling
"Hey
Chris"
"Hey
Carl"
"What do
you 2 want?"
"Well you
see we found some treasure but because we are weak little females we aren’t
strong enough to dig it up and we were just thinking who’s
the strongest people we know to help us dig it up"
"Ye and
we thought of you to first"
"You did
wow we would be glad to help you if you think we can. Wouldn’t we Carl"
"Ye sure
but we’d want a little bit of the treasure wouldn’t we Chris?"
"Ye we
would but only a little bit you know not a lot"
"No about
half would do us"
"Well
that could be fair but you see we would have to do the hard work in telling you
what to do while you dig and that’s hard work you know. It takes it out of you
to supervise"
"Okay
maybe not half how about 60/40"
"What do
you think Sally is that fair?"
"Ye 60/40
it’s a deal"
"Okay
then shake hands and that makes it final"
So back to the
garden they went.
40 minuets
later
"Look its
not that we don’t want to help you its just that we
have to practice our moves for P.E tomorrow and mum will kill us if we don’t go
now sorry guys."
"Ye but its not mum I’m worried about its Mr Ricksure
he will kill us after he tortures us in detention first."
"Ye your
right see you later okay"
"See ya"
"Well now
what do we do that’s everyone"
"Well you
know what they say if you want something doing do it your self"
So they
started to dig it must not have been more than 10 minuets when mum called us to
dinner and Amy and Sally came running in covered with mud from head to tow
"What
have you 2 been up too"
"They
went looking for the treasure in the garden" Piped up David
"Ye we
didn’t find any" Said Sam
"Neither
did we" said Rob and Jamie
"They
said that they came straight to us" shouted Chris and Carl
"Okay
everyone pipe down will you," shouted mum
"Exactly
where was this treasure you were looking for"
"In the
garden where you told us it was"
Mum went to
the door and looked out there was muck every where and the bulbs and grass were
also gone.
"The
treasure you were looking for were my bulbs and because you decided to dig them
up you can put them back neatly along with anyone who was so stupid to help you
do it and now you will go wash up and come eat your supper"
The next day
we all spent it in the garden some of us watching those who had to replant and
some replanting. The moral of this story is well I don’t know make one up.
