The Man Who
Wrote The Diary
He looked at the ancient
structure and smiled. He had done it. No one had believed him when he had
unravelled the mysterious directions indicated by his grandfather’s grandfather
in his diary.
“So you think you will
find it?” they had laughed. But he was not to be deterred.
It took him five years
but he had eventually reached the place.
As he entered the hut he
was shocked to see an old man lying on the floor.
“You did well. The
treasure is yours; you deserve it.”
“And who are you?” he
asked hesitantly.
“The man who wrote that
diary.”
