Week 3A Challenge

The Treasure Call
Beneath the earth, where shadows creep,
A hidden trove, in silence deep.
Map in hand, the journey starts,
Guided by both wits and hearts.
Through tangled woods and roaring streams,
We chase the gold of bygone dreams.
The thrill of quest, the prize in view,
A treasure found, adventure true.
