Message in a bottle

Hello bloggers,

In wananga  we wrote a story about a message in a bottle here is my story look below

I was walking along a river near a big mountain and I looked at something in the river that looked like glass. So I followed it and I grabbed it. There was a bit of paper that looked like a map. So I grabbed it out of the bottle and it was a map and at the bottom it said “hello  this is a message  telling you that there is  a treasure so follow the map.” 

I got my friend Fred and then we started. There were two paths. There was one path that said  “short cut and there was one go the right way”. To be continued...
