Max’s Treasure Quest (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:46s
Max, a young man, had a map to find hidden gold. He put on his hat and with a happy lip he set off. In his bag was the map and in his heart a lot of hope. As he walked through the town, the sky was low and gray. He had to be careful not to let the map get wet. Near a big tree, Mac saw a cat lie down looking at something. He stopped and looked too. Suddenly, he slipped on the wet grass. Quickly, he stood up again. Max felt a bit mad at his slip, but then he laughed. With the help of the map and a bit of luck, Max soon found the spot. Under the tree, right where the cat had been lying, was the gold.
