Section A: Comprehension
The Mystery of the Hidden Treasure
Once upon a time in the small coastal town of Harbor Haven, a group of friends - Emma,
Jake, and Lily - stumbled upon an old map while exploring the attic of Emma's grandmother's
house. The map was worn and weathered, hinting at a hidden treasure buried somewhere in
the town.
Excitement bubbled within them as they decided to embark on an adventure to uncover the
mystery of the hidden treasure. The map led them through winding paths, secret tunnels, and
finally to the old lighthouse on the edge of town. The friends eagerly entered the lighthouse,
their eyes scanning the room for any signs of the hidden treasure.
As they explored the lighthouse, they discovered a series of clues that pointed to the
treasure's location. The first clue led them to the town's historic clock tower, where they
found an engraved message hinting at the treasure's connection to the founding of Harbor
Haven.
With each clue, the friends delved deeper into the town's history, uncovering tales of pirates,
shipwrecks, and hidden passages. The final clue brought them to the abandoned shipyard,
where they unearthed a chest filled with gold coins, jewels, and a note thanking them for
solving the mystery.
