“Kevin managed to get through the small hole in the gate which gave him access to the castle grounds. Earlier on he had come across a small book in the forest which helped him find his way. He was fed up of getting lost all the time so he decided that he’d follow the guidelines perfectly this time. After all, this wasn’t the first time he had been roped into trying to find the hidden treasure. He started walking faster as he did not like the feeling of being all alone on the vast castle grounds. He was looking forward to getting the treasure and getting out again quickly.
Suddenly he saw the treasure through one of the castle’s windows. It was on top of the table beside the fireplace. He managed to break into the castle and retrieve the treasure.
Just then he shot up in bed at the sound of his alarm clock and realised it had all been an exciting dream.”
