After an hour or so, they
had a great idea. Since there
was a nice little boat nearby,
they agreed to take it and
started playing pirates on the
wild dangerous ocean.

old map helped them find the
secret place of the lost treasure
with lots of gold.

and they had to fight for the gold. After
a long fight, they quickly took the gold
and sailed back home.
