t was still snowing. Frozen crystals falling around covered the garden like a soft, fluffyblanket. A man wearing an old coat and torn hat was crouching behind the wall that sepa-

rated the garden from the rarely used path. He stood quietly while watching two boys

and two girls walking along. They didn`t even notice him, but that was all right. He didn`t

need them. He didn`t need anybody.

our best friends were going to the mountains to ski. Christopher and Ashley were the

best skiers. They were all wearing jackets, colourful hats and scarves and thick trou-

sers. They also had gloves and goggles to protect them from the cold wind.

The weather was perfect to spend a few hours on the slope, skiing, laughing and

throwing snow balls at each other. They had dreamt about that day for so long. The school

term was so hard and exhausting that they really needed those few days to relax and get some

strength before the next one.Christopher and Ashley were first on the slope, while Eric and Emma took a long time

climbing the hill. The sun was shining and the snow flakes were sparkling in its rays. They

even didn`t remember such a good day full of fun and laughter. Finally, after a few hours,

they decided to go to a caf and drink some hot chocolate. They were cold and exhausted.

Warming up in a nice caf with a mug of hot cocoa sounded great.

Although it was late in the afternoon, the place wasn`t very crowded. They found a

table with four free places and sat around it. It was warm and pleasant inside. The fire in the

fire place was cracking and quiet music was heard from the radio. Other people were drinking

and eating hot meals while talking and laughing together. When the teenagers ordered their

drinks, Christopher remembered something.

- Hey, did you all hear about little Sarah Kells? My mother heard from her mother

that she`s been losing things for the last few days. Mrs Kells seemed to be very worried as it

had never happened before.

- Oh, yes! replied Emma. She`s missing some gloves and a few toy necklaces. She

told me about it when I babysat her last week.

- Really? asked Ashley. - That is strange. I have noticed today that her picture is

missing from the 'Student of the Week' poster.

- Yes! added Eric. It looks like it was cut off! We need to find out what is happen-

ing I think.

- Excuse me. The waitress was standing at their table with the hot chocolate, looking

confused.

- Oh thank you! Eric said, his face red from embarrassment. The lady gave them

their drinks and walked away, and they continued their conversation.

- Guess what? Yesterday I found a newspaper talking about the Kells family. It said

that six years ago there was a fire in their house. The family lost everything and didn`t have

enough money to pay for anything anymore, and Mrs Kells divorced her husband with their

one-year-old baby. Mr Kells was in despair. What is even worse he lost his job and couldn`t

find anything else to do here so he left the town and was never seen again said Emma.

- Do you think that this is Sarah`s father causing all this

trouble? asked Christopher. - Maybe he returned and would like to get in contact with his

daughter?

- Yes! I think so! We should find out if he is the one! Let`s meet together tomorrowand investigate suggested Eric.

They stood up, paid the bill, got dressed warm again and left the cosy caf. It was an

early evening and they could feel frosty air and see first stars in the sky.

The homeless man was standing in the garden which was covered with snow and ice.There was nobody there. Only the wind was blowing, whistling between the trees. Their shad-

ows looked scary. The man was looking around nervously. He gazed at each item that he had.

A pair of pink gloves, some play jewellery, a pair of scissors, and a picture. A picture of his

dear daughter, Sarah. He missed her a lot.

- Don`t worry, Sarah he whispered. I`ll get you and take you away from this horri-

ble place! I will!

He put the things in a box, his treasure box, and buried it in the ground.

he dawn of a beautiful morning has broken. It seemed as if the morning was promising alot. Light snowflakes were falling and swirling, a mild breeze was blowing. The four

friends met at a caf as they usually did during this holiday. Guess what they have or-

dered? Yes, you are right - hot chocolate. And after that, of course, on skis. At least, such

were the plans.

But, not in vain people have such a saying- you are planning and the Lord is laugh-

ing While they were waiting for the chocolate suddenly it became dark. Whats this? Wor-

ried everyone dived to the window. Ashley unexpectedly screamed:

- Our plans are collapsing! We wont ski! Look! What is happening outside!. Huge

dark clouds gathered and it started to snow heavily.

Christopher offered:

- Lets go to the skating - rink instead. Everyone agreed although without a great en-

thusiasm and left. Splashing through the deep snowdrifts, which were rising in their eyes, the

four friends were sharing their holiday impressions and wondering about such an unexpected

weather change.

Soon Christopher and Ashley were torn from the rest. Everywhere they were the first:

the first on the slope, the first on their way to the skating- rink. While they were speeding

ahead, Eric and Emma were browsing the shopwindows, they were quite tired and couldn`t

withstand their friends pace. Suddenly they noticed a note on one building "Library", and im-mediately a thought came to Emmas mind: she remembered that yesterday they planned to

investigate Sarahs case. (She already called it "a case" in her mind).

Emma started to shout as loud as she could:

- Stop! Christopher, Ashley! Wait!. It wasnt very

easy to persuade them to come back. At last they

were here and without any explanations Emma

pulled them into the library. Eric wasnt less puzzled

and he mumbled:

- What are you doing? What about the skating -

rink?

Only then Emma explained everything and reminded

their yesterdays plans. In almost no time all friends

started to burrow in the pile of old newspapers.

They were trying to find something about the fire in

Kells house but the story was quite old and they

found nothing. The friends were already starting tolose the hope when Ashleys eye was caught on one

article in the title of which they noticed the well known surname - Kells. It was the article

about a man who found his happiness in a very unusual way. The title of the article was:

"Unbelievable Kells success"

The most famous and influential our town businessman is telling the story of his un-

expected success. "One bright morning I woke up and decided to buy a lottery ticket. Thatwas the first time in my life to buy it. I went to a small local shop run by a man of an Indianorigin. In the shop I cleared a protective layer of the ticket I bought. 1,000,000 Euros I

found such an inscription on it. At first I couldnt believe my eyes, but when the shopkeeperreassured me that it was true, I tried to believe. The very next day the money appeared in my

account but I was not tending to waste it easily. I decided to buy stocks of a well known com-

pany, and I chose "Microsoft". In half a year the value of the stocks rose highly and I boughtmore and more. I kept buying the stocks and in several years I overtook the controlling stock

pack. And now Im running "Microsoft". Poor Bill GatesTo the questions of a personal na-

ture Mr Kells answers really reluctantly. To tell the true, doesnt answer at all.

Such an intriguing information was found in the article. Christopher asked:

- Is it possible that this Mr Kells is the same Kells we are looking for? Nobody was

very fast to answer his question. At last Emma uttered:

- I believe that this Mr Kells is somehow connected with the one we are looking for,

but I am not sure that he is exactly the one. Maybe he is a relative of the Mr Kells or some-

thing like that?

Ashleys opinion was strict and without any doubts:

- Dont be so nave, this is not a novel, this is life. You think if the surname is the

same it means something? I am sure that this is only a coincidence.

Eric only shrank his shoulders, he was not brave enough to speak his mind. As many

people as many opinions.

The homeless man buried the box and

cleaned his hands to his torn trousers.Suddenly in a bright moonlight a massive

gold ring with a precious stone glittered

on his forefinger. - Damn it! Such a

tiny detail can betray me - whispered the

man. He torn the ring from the finger and

carefully hid it a pocket of his torn trou-

sers.

r. Kells was fast asleep but those unforgettable memories kept coming to his mind

The first fortnight of August went by as a wonderful dream during which he got peace

and rest from his hectic daily routine. Mr. Kells had had a promotion at work and wanted to

celebrate the event, so he decided to travel abroad with his wife and his one-year-old daugh-

ter. After spending some time reading some brochures and discussing where to go they chose

the Algarve, as their holiday destination. At the time they were really happy and rejoiced

every moment of their lives, they were young and they were in love. One of those days re-

mained vivid in Mr. Kells memory. They woke up very early, the daylight was very bright.

They thought that even sun rays were different in Portugal. In fact everything seemed to be

different here: the air, the smells and the people. The Portuguese were really nice and

friendly. The water was different too, it had a really fresh taste. They fell in love with the Al-garve at first sight.

Mr. Kells opened the back door of the car and sat his daughter on the seat, his wife sat

next to the child and he drove to the nearest beach. It took them 20 minutes to get to the sea-

coast. What magnificent views they behold on their way cheerful orchards with orange

trees, typical houses with white chimneys, children playing football in their yards and then a

shining view of the ocean wrapped in a blue noonday haze.

George, lets stop here, do you see that caf over there? It seems to be quite cosy

- said his wife.

They entered the caf and sat down at a free table. It was high season and the caf was

quite crowded. The waiter came by and they ordered two sandwiches, two glasses of orange

juice and a vegetable soup for their daughter.

Mr. Kells wife was really a precious pearl. She had a wonderful name Mary. She was

tall and slim and her hair was curly and blond. Her eyes were sky-blue, she had a smiling face

and a tender heart and for him she was incomparable.

- Mary, lets go to the beach, the sea is quite calm said George.

They lay on the sand, closed their eyes and began to listen to the music of the waves. It

was a great sound, like an orchestra. From a distance it seemed to be the keys of a piano,

rushed at times by thin sounds of a violin.

The water was warm clear blue and inviting and Mary decided to go for a swim. Sarah

was playing with her toys and started to build a sandcastle.

Sarah came out of the water and couldnt find her daughter.

- George! Wake up! Sarah has disappeared! - cried Mary in despair.

They looked for her throughout the entire beach, asked if someone had seen a small

child but nobody had seen her. She was missing.

- Mary! The car! She may be near the car - said Mr. Kells.

They rushed to the car and saw little Sarah playing near it. Mary held her tight in her

arms and exclaimed:

- Sarah, we were so worried, never do this again!

- Mary, I promise Ill never lose her out of sight again. Ill always be near my daugh-

ter.

Although unwillingly he broke his promise some months later. After the fire he had no

choice but to leave his family behind and disappear

Nevertheless now he was back and determined to diminish the painful suffering he had

caused. Mr. Kells only needed to be cautious and think of an intelligent plan.

t was 1 o clock after midnight. George Kells was on his way home, drunk, with trem-bling feet and no balance at all. He slowly reached the front door of his house and

pulled the key out of his pocket. His hands were shivering. It took some time until he

finally managed to open the door He entered the house and went from the corridor to the

living room, which was covered by complete darkness. While he was trying desperately to

reach the light switch, he stumbled on a chair.

- To hell - he shouted.

- Do you need any help? - a voice called and suddenly the lights were switched on.

Mary Kells was sitting on a chair at the other side of the room.

- Oh my beloved wife - he whispered and he tried to get close to her.

- Stay away from me, you drunk - Mary shouted - where have you been again?

- Its none of your business - he answered with a slow and tired voice.

- It concerns me and our daughter! The only thing you do is wondering around and

drinking.

- Shut up - George shouted.

- Whats the matter? Does the truth hurt you? - Mary said.

- I said shut up!!!!

- You are nothing more than useless- Mary replied.

- Shut up!!

At that moment, little Sarah Kells appeared at the stairs of the upper floor, handing a

toy bear very tightly in her hands. She looked scared and in a while she burst into tears. Mary

run to her daughter and hid the tiny body in her armful.

- Disappear and never try to set foot on this house again. Never dare to approach either

me or my daughter!!!

George Kells walked with inconstant footsteps towards the door. He opened it and got

out at the yard. He went ahead making false steps till the outside door.

- We havent finished yet, you will pay it off at a very high price - he tried to shout

before he went away staggering.

Mary pressed her daughter closely in her arms, trying to make her be calm and stop

crying. She embraced her with tenderness she caressed her white skin and her blond hair.

- Calm my baby, calm, all is over, everything is all right. She took her and drove her to the

armchair. She tried to lull her to sleep. Finally the little girl fell asleep in her hands. She

looked so calm and peaceful. nothing could awake her. The mother carried the baby care-

fully in the room, kissed her on the forehead, covered her and put the lights off. She ought to

be calm and forget this terrible quarrel. Nevertheless, could she forget, or this would be a

nightmare following her in her whole life?

While Mary was walking downstairs, she felt hot air coming from the kitchen. As she

was getting closer, the temperature was increasing more and more. She tried to open the door

but she sprang backthe handle of the door was awfully burnt She pushed it strongly withher body. She gazed at the enormous flames, lightening fire tongues, burning everything they

found ! She stepped back terrified and went ahead towards her daughters room. She

hugged her and run to the outside door as soon as possible. She felt the fire hunting after her,

destroying everything around. The flames, like a fiery demon coming out of the depths of

hell, escaped from the kitchen and over flew Kells house.

It was early spring, but this was a really chilly cold afternoon. In the beautiful green

park, the shade of the trees seemed huge and threatening and the whisper of the wind passing

though the foliage did increase the image of the wilderness. The winter seemed not to be ea-

ger to abandon the small town.

- Walk a little faster I froze to death - Eric said to Emma. Christopher and Ashley were

already ahead.

- I am tired and Im freezing - Emma replied.

- Those evenings classes are a real trouble - Emma added.

- I wish I lived in a country like Greece - Eric replied. There, the days are always

sunny, so maybe thats why Greek people are so happy and pleasant.

- Its a real magic to live by the sea enjoying the sun - Eric answered.

- Eventually the evening classes are not that bored - Emma agreed; I have printed a

picture of Santorinis beautiful sunset. It would be a good idea to prepare a project about

Greek Aegean islands and Crete. I wish I lived.

The discussion was interrupted abruptly Christopher and Ashley who were walking

in front of the others, like they always did, had stopped to a bench where a middle-aged manwas lying down unconscious. He was wearing a ragged coat and he was disheveled and un-

shaven. A half-full bottle was lying next to him

He was immovable, his lips were livid Christopher got closer to him and checked

his pulse.

- He is looking so weak, he needs help - he said.

- Lets call an ambulance - Ashley replied.

The sound of the siren was heard a few minutes later from the corner of the road. Two

nurses got off the ambulance carrying the stretcher, where they placed the stranger on. Theycarried him into the ambulance and the children followed it. While they were carrying him,

Emma noticed something very odd: He was wearing a big expensive ring- "He must have

stolen it", she thought.

Later on, the doctors announced them that the mans health was really very bad. As

the children were waiting outside the patients room, Emmas thoughts were running to the

ring all the time. How was it possible for a man like him to carry such a valuable thing? Only

if he had stolen it!!

- Now he feels better, although you cannot visit him - the voice of the nurse returned

Emma to reality.

Christopher was still holding the ragged coat in his hands. As he was standing up from

his chair in the corridor, a wallet fell down, at his feet. And what a surprise: The wallet was

full of money. From

now on, they were sure he had stolen it. It was obvious the man was a thief.

- We should give the wallet to the police - Ashley said.

- What it may contain? She hadnt finished her phrase yet, when Christopher pulled a

small girls photo from a case of the wallet.

- I know this girl, I know her!!... - Emma cried, without believing what she saw Sheis Sarah Kells !!... The children looked embarrassed. Nobody talked for a while, but the same

thought was dancing in everyones mind. Is it ever possible, could this man be little Sarahs

father?...

hen the man was in the observation room, a nurse called Mary entered. The moment she

saw him, she was really surprised because she had already read the mans medical his-

tory. The man was familiar to her, she knew him but she couldnt remember who he

was.

The four friends decided to speak with the mysterious man who was in the room, butthey were a bit afraid...

The following day, they went into the room where the man was. They sat down and

started to speak with him.

The man told them that he was Sarahs uncle, Patrick, and he also explained them that

the money they had found in his wallet was his, he had not stolen it, he didnt need to steal

since he was a millionaire because some years ago she won the lottery.

Then the four friends discovered that the man who appeared in the newspapers article

was.They also asked him a lot of questions about his brother, that is, Sarahs father, and then

the man started telling them all the story. He told them that some years ago he and his brother

George were living in a wonderful country, in a country where pities turn into happiness, in

Spain Until his brother met Mary, who was spending her holidays there. Then they fell in

love and they started living together in Spain but, when Mary was pregnant, both of them

decided to go back to their home country. However, Georges brother stayed in Spain He

never again had news about George or Mary but he thought George might have gone to

Spain since he loved that country so much

Now the four friends had got a lot of information but it wasnt enough

Then the four friends looked for Mary and they told her the mans story She was

really surprised! She started to shout! She couldnt believe what the man had told the teenag-

ers. In Spain? How could he have come back there again?

Nevertheless, the four friends decided to go on with the investigation and went to

Spain, to the address the man had given them, but there was nobody there


14/20

Meanwhile, the man escaped from hospital and phoned his brother George who was

living in England:

- Dont worry George, Ive sent them to a wrong address in Spain.

- Thank you brother! I dont want them to bother me.

The friends realised they had been deceived and returned back to the hospital to meet

the man. But he was not there and, whats was worse, nobody knew where he was.

They decided to return to the park where they saw Patrick again, but when noticedthem, he ran away. As he was running, he dropped a small piece of paper. Eric took it and

found a phone number.

- What can we do with it? - asked Ashley.

- Lets call - said Emma.

They all agreed and when they phoned, they found out that this number belonged to aSpanish restaurant. They were really excited and wanted to know more about their case so

they booked a table for that night.

Later, that evening, they arrived at the restaurant, sat at a table and asked for sometypical dish. While they were enjoying a delicious a delicious meal, they saw Patrick going

into the restaurant, but he didnt enter the room where they were, he walked to the kitchen.

The four friends were really astonished and they didnt know what to do; Ashley stood up and

went to investigate to the kitchen. When she was approaching, a waiter suddenly appeared

and Ashley hid under a close table, from there she saw two men talking, Patrick and the cook

and, she couldnt believe her eyes, they were twins! The cook was George! Patrick had

lied! The girl could hear a conversation between them:

- Our plans are getting more and more difficult, some kids are looking into this matter, I

think this place isnt safe - said Patrick.

- OK - replied George, lets arrange another appointment somewhere else, we must

know what to do with Sarah.

- I think you should call Mary and ask her to meet to talk about Sarah - added Patrick.

The two brothers agreed and finished their meeting. George phoned Mary and

asked her to let him see his daughter, but Mary refused and went alone to the meeting.

When George arrived, Mary realised something different in him, she looked at his

neck, but she didnt see the scar that he got during the fire many years ago

hat shall I do? - Mary was wondering herself, torn between doubts and fear, while

walking through the crowded street toward the Tapas restaurant in Exeter.

- Can I start all over again? All these years of solitude, whilst I had to face all sort of

problems as a single mother, to raise a child as well as possibleAnd now? Hes back and he

implores me to forgive himShould I?

Eventually, Mary met George. Or, at least, the man he thought to be George.

The real George rang the bell at Marys home door.

- Who is it? - asked the beloved voice which he longed so much for.

- Your daddy, my dear Sarah!

- WHO??? The little girl opened the door in a second.

- Daddy?!

- My love, the light of my eyes.my dear- deardear daughter! And the man kneeled on the

door step, holding tight the little body in front of him. Hot tears flowed on his lined cheeks,

knotting in his beard How long have I been waiting for this I thought Id never hold you

like this againnever in this life!

Little Sarah felt dizzy, puzzled, a bit embarrassed. Who was this stranger? Her mother

had told her that daddy was dead. And stillbeyond his strange ragged appearance, some-

thing familiar broke through itthe warmth of his arms holding her desperately, as a promise

desperately, as a promise that hell be there forever, like a real father, like all her friends fa-thers she knew. Is this possible? George was weeping and smiling at the same time. His voice

was hurried, whispering persuasive, convincing. He was telling herwhat? What was he tell-

ing incessantly? To forgive him, to ask her mother to forgive him too, to convince Mary to

start their life together, all three of them, as a happy family, from the beginning.

Yes, he has changed. He had wandered all over the world, even in Romania.

Yes, Romaniagood memories! He told Sarah that he had been working on an ar-

cheological site, as a simple digger, somewhere in the middle of Transylvania, at some ruins

of an old castle. Transylvania! Strange, charming, half - wild, halfmodern and civilized

its main cities, Timisoara, Oradea, Cluj-Napoca, Alba-Iulia have been known since the Ro-

mans occupation, when Traian, the emperor, had conquered these wonderful, blessed land.

Q

Transylvania literarily means The land beyond the forests in Latin. And people

there still speak a Romanic language in the middle of a Slavonic language speaking world.

Thats the reason why they call themselves Romani. Nowadays, the local people were tell-

ing strange stories about Count Dracula, whom they thought the castle had belonged to

Well, the chief- archeologist said that all those words were a load of rubbish, that the remains

were all that had left from Vlad the Impalers prison. But no Romanian folk would have be-lieved this silly story!

- Sarah, if you want me to, Ill take you and your mother there, to see yourselves, with

your own eyes! Its true! And, more important than that he followed in a lower voice.

- Ive found a treasure there, buried in a wallI kept the secret. I must go back there

to take it with meIts yours, you deserve it! Whats the gold, what are all the diamonds in

the world without you? I want my family back! Please, please my dear Sarah, will you forgive

me???...

eorge Kells helped his daughter carefully over some ancient bricks, then came back for

the childs mother. Mary took his hand as she jumped lightly over the red stones, but

neither of them let go, even after they were back on the straight path. They smiled at

each other and carried on light conversation with little Sarah until they came to what was left

of a low brick wall, hidden cleverly by some bushes and shrubs.

- Here it is! - said George, as he knelt down on the soft, mossy ground and pulled out a

small pick-axe.

- Is it there? Is it there? - asked Sarah excitedly, jumping up and down. Mr. Kells re-

peatedly struck at a loosened brick in the old wall.

- Ive almost got it Yes, here it is! - he exclaimed. He pulled out a miniature chest

and opened it carefully. It was filled to the top with medieval coins of gold, each one worth at

least 5000 pounds!

- Yay! - yelled Sarah!

- Oh, you did it, dear - said Mary Kells happily, hugging him tightly. Mr. Kells

blinked back tears as he clutched the most important thing in the world to his heart not the

treasure, but his precious family.

- Look, look! - Emma rushed into the classroom a few minutes before the bell rang to

start a weekly class meeting. Her three friends were waiting for her. She slapped a newspaper

down onto a desk.

The headline read 'Briton Finds Priceless Medieval Treasure'.

Mr. George Kells, along with his wife, Mary, and a daughter, Sarah, found a valu-

able treasure on Tuesday in an ancient medieval castle in Romania. This family of threewas on holiday at Transylvania, the legendary home of Count Dracula, when they stumbled

upon a small chest filled with hundreds of very old medieval coins, some even dating back

to the 8th century! All of them are made of pure gold, and the finding, as a whole, quite

possibly carries a value of over a million pounds.

When asked to comment on his extreme good fortune, Mr. Kells replied, Im very happy.

Not only do I have assurance of material security for the rest of my life, I now have my be-

loved family to share it with! Mr. Kells, a former divorcee, just recently reunited with his

wife and their daughter after 5 years of being apart.

It seems that this familys story has a very happy ending.

The four teens talked excitedly over this new turn of events until the bell rang. Every-

one hurried to their seats as the teacher called for attention.

- Class, I have some news for you - she began. Our school has been organizing a for-

eign student exchange program for quite some time, and I am glad to say that twenty students

have been selected to go on a trip to six European countries. These will be the students withthe best marks in foreign languages, Social Studies, and Geography. Two boys and two girls

have been picked from this certain class, and those students are- she looked down at her

papers. ..Christopher, Eric, Ashley, and Emma!

They were so surprised!

- Wow! - said Christopher. So cool!

- You will be travelling through Romania, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, and, of

course, the beautiful, as well as historic, country of Poland - the teacher added.

- Greece! - murmured a very happy Emma. Now we can do a project about Crete andthe Aegean islands

- And my grandmother is from Portugal! - exclaimed Ashley.

- Oh, I cant wait! - said Eric, and the other three agreed with him.

Little did they know that the Kells family had decided to go on holiday to the very

same countries at the very same time
