David Thomas and the Treasure of the Andes Mounains

There was an explorer named David Thomas who was in search of the long Lost Treasure of the Andes Mountains. He had found an old map near where the Machu Picchu ruins currently stand. He told nobody of what he found. David did not to get anybody’s hopes up for if he found what he was looking for it would help so many people. He flew back to the United States to get some provisions for his trip, then flew back down to Lima, Peru and went to the mountains from there.

When David reached the Andes Mountains he took out the map. He began searching for where in the Peruvian Andes he should be going. The map indicated for him to go to the tallest and most treacherous mountain in all the Andes called Mt. Makkapu. At first David wanted to give up, but he knew that it had to be done. The dotted line on the map was leading him to a cave near the summit. With more bad luck it began to rain so much that he was drenched. Then he felt a sickly moment of surprise. David was slipping and falling down the mountain and was almost falling off a cliff below. It seemed like it was all over for David, but he pulled out his pick ax and with lightning fast reflexes he thrust it into the ground. David pulled himself up and looked down at the 10,000-foot chasm he almost fell into. Yet he continued on up the mountain. With much relief David reached the cave near the summit of Mt. Makkapu. David entered the dark, musty cave with much anxiety, but much more fear of what lay ahead in the depths of this cave and what would become of his journey.

Each step he took the more nervous David got. Soon he found winding stairs going to the heart of the mountain. Then all went dark. David looked back and saw that his passage back was blocked, which meant he had to find a way out on the other side. After many flights of stairs he reached the floor. David saw a distant light down the hall. In the room he was astonished. There were mounds and mounds of gold pieces as far as the eye could see. There were also many ancient artifacts left behind by the people that used to live in the Andes Mountains. David had found the Lost Treasure of the Andes Mountains.

David still had a problem to solve and that was getting out. Suddenly David heard and load roar come from the other side of the room. There was a large, ferocious mountain lion guarding the treasure that just noticed him. It started to chase David up the stairs. Then he was cornered at the boulder that was blocking the exit. The lion pounced at David and he jumped out of the way, which sent the lion full force into the boulder. All that power forced the boulder free opening the exit. The lion was still hot on David’s heels outside the mountain, but the ground was still wet and the lion slipped and barely held on to a cliff with its claws. The rock could not support the lion’s weight and the rock broke off the side off the mountain and the lion fell all the way down into the valley below. David was very relieved to have made it out alive. David made his way back to Lima and flew back to the United States. He informed the president in Washington D.C. about what he found. Everything in the mountain was put to good use. David felt so good that he found the treasure.
