Fortune Cookie

Every Friday night, Marcus’s family would order takeout food. They took turns picking a local restaurant. This Friday, it was his little sister Kara’s turn to pick. She chose the nearby Chinese restaurant. Marcus ordered chicken balls with rice.

When Marcus finished eating the last of the rice on his plate, he stood up to bring his empty plate to the counter by the sink.

“Hey, don’t forget about the fortune cookies, Marcus!” his mother said.

“Oh yeah,” thought Marcus—the fortune cookies. The fortunes were always so lame. Most of the time they didn’t even make sense. But his family always made a big deal out of them.

Kara went first. She read it silently and laughed. Then she read it aloud: “Mine says, You will live long enough to open many more fortune cookies.”

Everyone laughed except Marcus.

“I’ll go next,” said his mom excitedly. “You will be hungry again in one hour.” This time Marcus couldn’t help but chuckle.

You will be a superstar karaoke singer,” his dad screamed out. “They know me too well!” he giggled.

Marcus cracked open his cookie and pulled out the little slip of paper. He read it silently. “Marcus, do not read this out loud. Tomorrow, go to the backyard. Take three large steps past the juneberry tree and then one step to the right. Dig a hole 2 metres deep. Don’t tell anyone about this.”

“What does it say, Marcus?” Kara asked.

“Oh, um, it says, “Good things come to those who wait,” He lied.

The next day was Saturday. Marcus woke up at 7 a.m. while everyone was still sleeping. He went to the garage, grabbed a shovel, and headed to the backyard…

Marcus went to the back yard. He pushed his shovel in it made a crunching sound as the blade sliced through dirt and gravel. Sudenley the shovel hit somthin not completly hard like it could be wood. He stoped what could it be, jewls, gold, a map to some long lost treasure that time had forgoten? He started diging faster sweating hard in the June heat. Finaly he could se wahat it was an old chest made out of what looked like maple woodwith a latch on it. At once he bent down and picked it up it was surprisingley light. He opened the latch it as old and rusty and made noise when he opened it. inside was a bunch of paper small in size about the size of a fortune cookie paper wait a minute they were fortune cookie papers and each one siad “Marcus, do not read this out loud. Tomorrow, go to the backyard. Take three large steps past the juneberry tree and then one step to the right. Dig a hole 2 metres deep. Don’t tell anyone about this.” and with that he put his fortune cookie paper in.

Then he dug a hole. And then he found something! It was something mysterious. He went inside and then his mom and dad were making breakfast. And then when they were done making breakfast, they went up to the mysterious object and asked him where he found it. He told them about the hole. They found out it was a book about the library!

He takes three steps past the berry tree. He takes one step to the right and he digs two feet deep. He finds a treasure box with gold and a sparkly crown inside. He hides the treasure in his room. When Marcus puts the crown on at night, he is magically transported to a castle where he is king. He is a good ruler. The end!
