Olly's Adventure
It was a rainy and desolate afternoon in Mr. K's F-Block. The windows on the left that usually bring in plenty of natural light were casting a dreary darkness into the room, transforming everyone's happy mood to a glum one. Tiffany, who realized that this mood definitely needed to be changed, decided to tell a story to the class, and it went a little something like this...
One choppy and cloudy evening, a pirate named Olly Keys, decided to go out to search for buried treasure. He felt as if he had been a fake pirate, because he had never discovered some buried treasure. So he grabbed his equipment, recruited a pirate crew, and set sail across the ocean. There was one legend Olly had heard of from his buddies, which was the legend of the Gold Cove. It was a hidden, sheltered bay, that was filled with gold and valuable items left behind by a group of wealthy natives. No one knew the exact location of it, but there was an approximate region as to where it might be located.
His crew members and he mapped out four different islands that could possibly be home to this famous buried treasure. These four islands were the Gully Grove Island, the Wooloo Isle, the Corty Island, and the Sully Foo Island.
First stop: Gully Grove. His crew and he went on a very, very long trip, and encountered several storms on the way. After a days and days of traveling, they finally saw shore! They had reached Gully Grove Island. They dropped their anchor a few kilometers away from shore and began swimming. Some crew members got bit by piranhas. Others got stung by jellyfish. Eventually, they all reached shore and began searching for the cove. They split up and spread themselves out among the island. They looked everywhere: in every cave, behind every mountain, under any trees, and some even began digging to see if it was underground. The treasure was nowhere to be found. So they all give up and swim back to their ship. They lift the anchor and move on to the next island: Wooloo Island.
They went on a very, very, long trip, and encountered several storms on the way. After days and days of traveling, they finally spotted the shore! They had finally reached Wooloo Island. They dropped their anchor a few kilometers away from shore and began swimming again. Some got bit by piranhas. Others got stung by jellyfish. After some struggling with the vicious marine life, they all reached shore and began searching for the cove. They split up and spread themselves out among the island. They looked everywhere: in every cave, behind every mountain, under any trees, and some even began digging to see if it was underground. The treasure was nowhere to be found. So they all give up and swim back to their ship. They lift the anchor and move on to the next island: Corty Island.
PirateOlly and his very tired crew went on a very, very long trip, and of course, encountered many storms on the way. After days and days of traveling, they finally saw shore! They had reached Corty Island. They dropped their anchor a few kilometers away from shore and began swimming. Some crew members got bit by piranhas. Others got stung by jellyfish. Eventually, they all reached shore and began searching for the cove. They split up and spread themselves out among the island. They looked everywhere: in every cave, behind every mountain, under any trees, and some even began digging to see if it was underground. The treasure was nowhere to be found. So they all gave up and swam back to their ship. They lift the anchor and move on to the next and final island, where the treasure must be hiding: Sully Foo Island.
After traveling to 3 different islands, Olly and his crew were exhausted. But nothing was going to stop Olly from finding that treasure. He was determined to be called a "real pirate". So he commanded his crew and they set sail for the last time. They went on a very, very long trip ad encountered several storms on the way. After days and days of traveling, they finally spotted the shore! They had finally reached Sully Foo Island. They dropped their anchor a few kilometers away from shore and began swimming again. Once again, some got bit by piranhas and others got stung by jellyfish. After some struggling with the vicious marine life, they all reached shore and began searching for the cove. They split up and spread themselves out among the island. They looked everywhere: in every cave, behind every mountain, under any trees, and some even began digging to see if it was underground. The treasure was nowhere to be found...
Olly and his crew packed up, swam to their ship, and sailed home.
