The Hidden Treasure

Eight-year-old Susie, her twin brother, Timmy, and their parents were on their way to their new house in the country. The realtor told Susie, Timmy, and their parents about a hidden treasure in their new house. Susie and Timmy like to play Amateur Detectives and solve mysteries. This was their first case, so they were both excited about trying to locate the hidden treasure. As Susie pondered over the idea of what the secret might be, she finally asked, "How much farther, Mom?" "We'll be there soon." "When?" Timmy asked. "Another five minutes." "I can't wait! I'm eager to find that hidden treasure!" Timmy exclaimed. After their father pulled into the driveway and stopped, Susie and Timmy jumped out of the car and rushed toward their new house. "Timmy, Susie, wait a minute. I have to unlock the door," their mother said. Their parents walked up on the porch, and as soon as their mother unlocked the door, Timmy and Susie rushed inside. "Don't stray too far or go outside," their father cautioned. "We won't," they replied, as they started searching their new environment. "I like this sunken living room," Timmy said. "Look at the huge back yard!" Susie exclaimed, as she stared out the sliding glass doors that led from the living room. Timmy and Susie also saw the large kitchen and dining area. As they walked down the hall, they saw a bedroom and bathroom. After that, they walked upstairs to the second floor where they saw a large bedroom and a small bedroom. At the other end of the hall, they saw the smallest bedroom. Near the bathroom, was a linen closet. "I don't see anything that might have a hidden treasure. Let's go downstairs and look," Timmy suggested. "Great idea," Susie replied. They saw a large family room with light brown paneling on the wall. As they walked on, they saw a door and opened it. Timmy and Susie disappeared into a secret room, which was dark and musty. "It's dark in here. Where are we?" Timmy asked. "I don't know." Susie replied. "Let's see if we can find a way out," Timmy suggested. "We can be Detectives and solve our first case," Susie replied. "Hey! Maybe this is the secret," Timmy said, excitedly. "A dark, musty room!" Susie exclaimed. "No. I think something is hidden in here. Let's look." They stood up and started searching the cave. As they walked down a dark hall, they felt along the wall. They entered another hall and continued feeling their way. "I hope we find an exit soon," Susie said.
