Wow, said Meg upon learning that her uncle was once a real pirate.

Cool, said Sam.

Why don't you take this map to Uncle Jim right away, their dad said. I think you're about to go on a real treasure hunt.

Meg and Sam didn't need to be asked twice. They flew out the front door, and raced to the old lighthouse where Uncle Jim lived. Seagulls scattered and screeched as the children ran as fast as their legs would carry them. Sam burst through the lighthouse door with Meg close behind. They ran up to Uncle Jim, who beamed at the sight of his nephew and niece.
