　　第一篇：

　　One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said,“Look! There’s a horsshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said,“It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(樱桃).

　　The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on.

　　People bury treasure to stop other people from taking it. They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues(线索)that will help them or someone else to find it again.

　　In Britain a few years ago; a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.

　　One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's ‗Treasured Island‘, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates and later finds some buried treasure.

　　And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的) bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.
