The Map

He has left a map by solving which, I can win the amount mentioned in his will.

But I should do it within a week.

Being an archaeologist, a navigator and a good guide I was able to understand it to be an island's map.

I offered a few thousands and took with me a friend who was good in geology to find the place.

As soon as we found the place we guessed it to be a royal showpiece or a royal stamp.

We took with us a compass and a metal detector.

As soon as the alarm of the detector rang, we took our tools and started digging it out.

We found an old wooden box, we were very happy as we have won the challenge.

We went home had a good breakers and opened the box, Oh! we were shocked, we were shocked to see an old key in it.

The box also had a note stating

"Lay on attic facing north, may give some smoke but there it is not."

We went up and found an old pipe, it was made up of titanium and was designed very different.

We once again felt a little happy, but were confused as we saw a note in it.

It read," break me to win", we were shocked to see such a note in a hard metal like titanium.

We suddenly saw a hammer and used it.

It broke into two and fell a note stating "locker no.117".

We went to our uncle's bank and handed the will and the key, I signed the form and they opened the box.

We were shocked
