Chapter 24

Zoe kept glancing left and right to make sure no one was following her. In one hand she held a shovel, and in the other, a torch that gave off just enough light for her to make her way around the ledge by the pool to the waterfall. She slipped behind the wall of water and saw the entrance to the cave glowing green in the darkness. But the pile of rocks in front of the entrance blocked her way. She tried to pull out the boulders, but they were too big. She tried to use her shovel as a wedge, but she wasn’t strong enough. She tried to squeeze herself between the cracks, but she was too big. There was no way into the cave where the treasure was hidden. Unless you were really, really small.

Only a chipmunk could reach the treasure.
