David M. 4S

THE BIG HIKE

Ding! My alarm woke me up. 9:00 I yelled for everybody to wake up. I flopped on my clothes and ran outside and it was as hot as a sauna.
 “David breakfast!” my mom called. yum bacon and eggs for breakfast.
“That was delicious,” I exclaimed as my cousins were coming downstairs. they just woke up. You better eat fast,  we are leaving soon.
          I walked back outside and back up the outside stairs with my cousin Michael and we went to the field. we saw two baby deEr and a mom and dad.
“Let’s go see if there are any frogs in the creek,” I suggested. I darted over to the creek and heard something.  it was a frog.
“C’mon lets go get packed for the hike. Let’s go!  my mom screamed as I was making my salami sandwich. As I walked out the door I heard a stick crunch under my foot and the birds tweeting. I could already tell that this would be a good hike.
 finally I got into the car and we were driving.  It took two cars to take us all.it was a 15 minute ride. Right when we got out I was the first one out of the car.
My cousin was out next. I darted over to the trail and there was a great view of New York. Let’s get on the trail so we started walking to the big hill of rocks.  we had to climb all the way up all the rocks.  right when we got over all the rocks I saw a giant cliff and it made me get butterflies in my stomach.  I thought I would fall off.
          we saw a green dot and a yellow dot on a tree and we went on the green trail.
“wow!  look at that huge rock! maybe we should stop for lunch.”
 I ripped my salami sandwich and ate it so fast I forgot I ate it. 
“look there is a tepee!”
 I ran over and jumped into the tepee. There was a skull in it so we screamed and ran out as fast as our feet could carry us. I looked for all the green dots and it led us to a cave it looked like a mine and explorable.
 So I walked in and had to grab my flashlight from my bag.   it was very dark. I saw an old rickety ladder and I stepped slowly down it and I shined my flashlight all around. I saw a giant chest I screamed for everybody to come over. we all tried to open it and it was locked so we all carried it back up the ladder.  I Said, “we’ve got to bring it back home and find the key to the chest.”
 My uncle got a pic lock and finally got the chest open. there were diamonds and gold and pearls
“ we’re rich!” I exclaimed. “I can have anything I want Like a Mansion and live with all my cousins like Michael Jonny, Mary, Owen, Kevin, James, Kelly, Timmy, and a dog Bailey. I could get LeBron’s and elite socks. I can even get season tickets to the Mets and jets!”

I started to grab as much gold as I could carry and diamonds my pockets were filled with gold and diamonds, my pants were falling down. I was so happy I jumped with joy and started screaming and running all around the house and making as much noise as possible while I started thinking of all the things that I could do with all precious gold and diamonds.
