RONNIE TEOTWAWKI. GRADE 6

I’m not really a book guy. I figure that if the stuff in libraries was so great, they wouldn’t have to give it away for free. You know what I mean? But when Mr. Murphy told us there was an ancient Egyptian treasure hidden in a cave in the Grand Canyon, I went straight to the library after school. I had to look at that article he was telling us about.

It wasn’t hard to find. The library keeps old issues of the Phoenix Gazette. There it was, right on the front page. April 5, 1909. It said there were golden statues, weapons, mummies, and all kinds of other stuff hidden in a cave right here in the Grand Canyon. This explorer guy named Kinkaid supposedly found all this stuff. But nobody knows what happened to it. It’s not in any museum. There’s no record of Kinkaid taking the stuff out of the canyon. Either it vanished…or maybe it was still there. There was no record of what happened to Kinkaid either.

Man, I sat there and felt the hair on my neck rising up. If this article was for real, and the stuff was still sitting there a century later, what was to stop me from getting it? Nothing. Finders keepers. Maybe I could use the GPS I got for Christmas to help me find it.

The article was real long. There was a lot of detail about the location of the cave. I made a photocopy of the article so I could go over it real carefully.
