Arnold and Louis Gold Rush

This story begins on the seventh year after the Great Forest Fire, when the birds packed their suitcases and off they went to the South. Animals were preparing for hibernation and stocking up on food.

On a bald fringe of a dense forest next to the smelly swamp, in a wooden house there lived a moose. His name was Arnold. Arnold was a dreamer. And most of all he wondered about searching for treasures.

Arnold imagined how his life would change when he found the treasure. He had already viewed himself in southern countries, in expensive hotels and on warm beaches. He looked for treasures in the World Wide Web.

He searched in ancient books for at least some hints. He studied thousands of ancient maps. He even dug the whole garden around the house. But, unfortunately he could not find any treasure.

On top of that, a strange goose settled on the roof. All the time, the goose was drumming his flippers on the roof and did not let Arnold sleep. The goose’s name was Louis. The very same day, a year before, Louis made a riot and ran away from a goose farm.

He pretended to be a stork and made a nest on the roof. Louis worked as a baby deliverer. Lately, there was not enough work, so Louis spent his free time with Arnold. “Hello, Arnold, would you like to join me in hunting for treasure?” “Of course, yes!” Louis immediately rushed to organize the trip. He went to the store and rented tools for the treasure hunt. You need everything to find treasures: Flashlights, shovel, a treasure finder, a map to help light the way and build a camp to nap. And of course, friends to add pleasure, and reduce the treasure hunt’s pressure, but increase instead the hunt’s fun without measure.

He found a driver of an old truck and promised to pay for a ride in the truck as soon as he found the treasure. Meanwhile, Arnold went to some gangsters. “We need some security, Freddie. We’re going to look for treasure,” said Arnold. It was dangerous in the forest, so Freddie gave them two bodyguards.

Everything was ready. Arnold and Louis finally got on their way to find treasures and adventures. They traveled a thousand miles and dug for treasure in several fields, but the electronic treasure finder refused to ring and show where the treasures were.

Suddenly, when no one expected it, the electronic treasure finder began to ring crazily. “There’s something here!” They began to dig and found a huge door in the ground. The team began to go down the stairs.

Help Arnold and Louis find the treasure.

“Oh yeah!” And, suddenly, there they were, in a lost room full of gold and jewels. Seven huge gold coins were on the floor. Arnold and Louis began collecting coins, putting them into the trunk. While Louis tried to drag the trunk into the truck, Arnold stood still and dreamed. He already saw himself on the covers of world magazines.

Suddenly, there was a tramping of many feet- it was a spider of enormous size. “We’ll cover you. Take the trunk to the truck!” shouted the meerkat. “Run!” Arnold commanded. It was a miracle they survived.

The road led through a dangerous gorge. Forest residents have always tried to avoid it. But there was no other way. The road was uneven and pitted. The truck jumped on one of the hummocks and one coin flew out, ringing right into the gorge. There were 6 coins left in the trunk.

At the entrance to the forest they were met by a forest inspector. “If you find a treasure, you must give half of your treasure to the treasury of the forest,” the inspector uttered rapidly. Arnold was not greedy and gave three coins to the treasury. There were 3 coins left in the trunk. The old truck drove up to Freddie. “Since the adventure was very dangerous and we protected you from the spider, you owe us one gold coin,” said Freddie. Arnold had to give him one coin. There were 2 coins left in the trunk.

Friends went to return the tools to the store and recalled that they had left all the tools in the cave. “You have lost all the tools, so you have to pay one gold coin!” the manager of the store said, outraged. Louis took the coin from the truck and gave it to the manager. There was 1 coin left in the trunk. The old truck drove Arnold and Louis home. “You have to pay one gold coin for transportation,” said the driver. “But that’s all we have left!!!” Louis resented this latest news. But a deal is a deal, and Arnold gave a huge coin to the driver. There were 0 coins left in the trunk.

Arnold’s dreams collapsed with the last coin gone. He was very upset and went home. “But we had an unforgettable adventure,” said Louis. “I agree,” replied Arnold sadly. The morning came and Arnold went out onto the porch. “Louis, look, someone brought us pizza!” Arnold was surprised. But it was not pizza. At night, while everyone was asleep, the forest inspector, Freddie the gangster, the store manager, and the driver of the old truck sawed off parts of their coins and brought them to Arnold’s house. They thanked Arnold and Louis for their honesty and decency.

The foundation stone for a balanced success is honesty. Make honesty your everyday policy, because by doing so, you will see that love and greatness are rewards born from honesty.

Arnold achieved his dream.
