The White snake

Me and my friends were dreaming about travelling. We were thinking about it more than about two or three years. We raised the money which we needed and bought a ship and we set off our journey.

We were sailing for a long time. Unfortunately, one day there was a fierce storm and we shipwrecked. We found ourselves on a deserted island. When we recovered a little bit from the shock we walked around and suddenly we met a white snake. It spoke to us with a human voice.

-          There is a hidden treasure on my island. If you are able to find it, I will reward you richly! From the very beginning we were hesitating about it, but we decided to go and find it. On the way we met some weird animals which repeated:

-          That’s a trap! That’s a trap!

But we didn’t think about this, even for a moment, unluckily, that the snake wanted something bad. When we arrived at the place it told us, we were standing in front of a strange chest. As we opened it the snake came fast into it. In fact, the snake followed us at the same time. As she getting into the chest, a bright light came from it and a wizard appeared.

-          Ah! Such a fool people! You did the dirty work and now you will be turned into plants just like the others who wanted my skin! Ha, ha, ha!

-          But we don’t want your skin! – We told it in a one voice.

-          Aaaaaaa! – Titi screamed surprisingly in that moment.

 There was something else in this chest. It was a big colorful ruby. We grabbed it and saw that there was an inscription on the chest. Me and my friends read it and found it was an ancient curse. Fortunately, that was the key to break the curse. After a while, we were at home with a bag of rubies and a part of the snake’s skin. And the strange plants which the wizard put in our garden turned into humans again. They told us that they would serve us two years because of their greatness to us and after that each one would come back home.
