The Hidden Letters (sample answer)

Maya was excited for her vacation when she received a letter from her friend, inviting her to a mysterious place. The letter said, “Come to the old bungalow on the hill. Bring a torch.” When Maya reached there, the bungalow was dark and silent. On the table lay a map and a rusty key. Following the map, she found a small cave behind the house, and the key opened an iron chest inside it. There was no gold, only old letters written by her great-grandfather, a freedom fighter. Maya learnt that a family’s real treasure is the courage it remembers.
