The Adventures of the Smart English Team

In the sunny town of María de Huerva, Diego, Fer, Asier, Jorge, Gabi, and Leire were playing in the forest when they stumbled upon an old treasure map. The map hinted at a hidden treasure buried deep inside the forest. Excited, the friends decided to embark on a quest to find it. However, they soon realized that the map was covered in mysterious symbols they couldn't understand. They needed to solve this puzzle to start their adventure.

Diego squinted at the map. - What do these symbols mean? he asked. Fer shrugged, feeling puzzled. - Maybe it's a secret code, suggested Leire. They all agreed to head back to town to find someone who could help them decipher the map.

The friends visited the town library, hoping to find a book on ancient codes. To their dismay, the librarian informed them that the book they needed was missing. - Now what? asked Jorge. Gabi sighed, - We can't give up now. Let's search the rest of the library.

Just when they were about to lose hope, Asier spotted an old, dusty book hidden behind a row of thick encyclopedias. - Here it is! he exclaimed. They flipped through the pages, eager to crack the code. But the book was written in an ancient language none of them could read. - We need a translator, said Leire, feeling frustrated.

Back in the forest, the group encountered a rickety old bridge they needed to cross. The bridge creaked ominously under their weight. - This doesn't look safe, said Fer nervously. But they knew they had to get to the other side. Holding their breath, they carefully crossed one by one, praying it wouldn't collapse.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, they came upon a series of riddles carved into stone tablets. They had to solve each one to move forward. The riddles were tricky, and the friends spent hours debating the answers. - This one's impossible! complained Gabi. But they refused to give up, determined to find the treasure.

The last riddle stumped them completely. Exhausted and frustrated, they sat in a circle, feeling defeated. - Maybe we should just go home, said Asier, sighing. The others nodded, considering giving up. But deep down, none of them wanted to quit.

Just then, an elderly man appeared from the shadows, smiling kindly. - You have come far, he said. - Remember, courage and teamwork will lead you to the answer. Inspired by his words, the team felt a renewed sense of determination.

With newfound energy, the friends revisited the last riddle. They worked together, each contributing their ideas. Suddenly, Leire had an epiphany. - I got it! she shouted. They cheered, realizing they had cracked the code and could finally reach the treasure.

Following the map's final instructions, they unearthed a chest filled with gold and jewels. - We did it! exclaimed Diego, grinning from ear to ear. The friends celebrated, knowing their courage and teamwork had paid off. They had proven that no obstacle was too great when they worked together. And so, their incredible adventure in the forest came to a happy and triumphant end.
