The treasure map

One day Sanjay and her friend Sarah saw a bottle floating in the sea.

"There is something inside"said Sanjay."What is it?"asked Sarah.

It's a map! Said a talking parrot, which was nearby, watching."Wow, a treasure map! Let's follow it," says Sarah.

"OK, we are here and the treasure is there," says Sanjay.

"Let's go, I'll read," says the parrot. "Go straight down this road.

Turn right on Blue Avenue and walk four blocks until a stop sign.

Cross the street and keep walking until you see a big rock.

The treasure is in a box next to it'. When they arrive, they see that the box is empty! But there is an old note inside. It says "Dear finder. Sorry I need the treasure to buy a new pirate ship. Captain Redbeard"."Well, at least we have a new friend now' says Sanjay. "Yes, you're right, our new friend the parrot," says Sarah.
