Once there was a girl named Cecelia. She was an orphan living alone in the woods with her maltese puppy.
On the day before her 13th birthday, she found a map in her closet. It was a treasure map!
.
She pondered over the map. Excited, she could barely sleep.
“I wonder what the treasure could be!� Cecelia wondered.
At midnight, a porcelain cat came to her door and rapped sharply. “What do you want?” asked Cecelia. “A treasure. A map. Parents lost. Are you such the idiot that you haven’t put two and two together?” said the cat.
“What should I do?” said Cecelia shakily. “Find them. They alone have the secret,” the cat said cryptically. “What secret?” Cecelia had many questions but the cat had vanished. On her map however, a tiny dot, the size of her pearl earring appeared on her map in the Arista Lake. She knew that she would have to follow the cat’s advice. And so she set off on her journey in her hot air balloon.
