had to get behind Dad and push to
make it all fit. Finally, the van was
packed. Everyone squeezed in,
and off they went. The adventure
had begun!
It was a long day of traveling, and
the children were tired. The setting
sun stirred the natural sounds of the
forest. After everyone had made
camp, Wayne studied the map with
Mike. "Look, Mike, we'll go this
way."
who told Dad the story of the
mountain's treasure. Now Dad
would pass the story along to Mike.
"It's over that ridge," Dad told Mike.
"We'll have to camp overnight."
"We should check our supplies,
Mike. We wouldn't want to forget
anything," said Dad. Mike's
friends, Larry, Wayne, and Billy,
were there to help load the van.

very difficult to sleep. Everyone was
so excited about the treasure! The
snoring that was coming from Dad
didn't help matters either.

"Don't worry, Dad. You can count
on me," said Mike. Dad was glad to
have Mike with them.
Up the mountain, the trail became
narrow and winding. Mike was amazed
by the beautiful plant life surrounding
them. Finally, everyone stopped for
lunch.
"Who has the map?" asked Dad.
"Not me," said Mike.
"Not me," said Wayne.
"Not me," said Billy.
"It's gone!" exclaimed Mike. "How
will we ever find the treasure?"
"Hmmm... " said Dad. "Perhaps I
can remember the way."

better about the lost map. "Let's catch
some fish for lunch!" Dad said. Mike,
Larry, Wayne and Billy cast their lines
into the clear mountain stream. Mike
immediately hooked a big fish. It was
big enough for everyone to eat.
While everyone helped to prepare
dinner, Dad spoke to Mike, Larry,
Wayne and Billy. "When I was a young
cub like you, I met Old Teddy Bear, the
hermit, out here in these very woods.
I'll tell you his story tonight after
dinner." The food was served, and
everyone ate until they could eat no
more.
