A narrative - The mistery of the animals by Carla Peña Pelayo

Last week, students in 2º ESO wrote a story. They put into practice several writing tips that we've been learning in class. This is Carla's:

One day, a girl named Cristina was walking along a path that led to a forest. While she was walking she heard a noise... as if something fell to the ground. She looked down and found a squirrel who left her a note in which she said " If you do not find the treasure in two days you will become the animal you hate the most ”.

Cristina was surprised, she saw that there were some words on the other side of the paper and the words were "this map cannot be seen unless you guess this riddle: in summer there is little and in winter there is much."

Cristina did not know the answer but she went home thinking it was a joke, but two days later she was in her living room watching TV and a light appeared suddenly and she noticed a chill. She got up and turned into a snake. The paper didn't have the solution which was that whoever guessed the map and the treasure will free the other people.

There were four other people who turned into animals but... there was a boy named Manuel who managed to save them. One day he was walking and he found the squirrel with the paper, he knew the that the answer was water and soaked the paper in water. It was the map!! He dug a hole where the map said and found a small box with a necklace inside that said "life is an adventure to be enjoyed."

He touched the necklace and suddenly there was another light in which all the people who had turned into animals appeared. Everyone explained why they turned into animals and, in the end, Manuel took the paper and burned it in case someone found it again and that's how the story ended.
