There were many small caves on the beach and Fred and I ran into the biggest. At first, I was afraid because it was very dark and we couldn't see anything. Fred then told me he had a torch. “That's good!” I said. 'Now we can see where the treasure is!' Then I began to look for gold and silver in the sand.
