The Mysterious Lighthouse
Long ago, in today's city of dreams, LA, lived a boy named James. He was born into a rich family and pursued his studies in a private school. He was quite interested in oceans and the mysteries behind them. He used to borrow many books related to oceans from his college's library. One day he discovered a book called “The Hidden Treasure of the Great Isaac Lighthouse." As soon as he heard the name of the book, he was tempted to read it and took it home. Later that day, he read the book fully. The book was written by an unknown author, and it said there was a treasure hidden in the Great Atlantic Lighthouse, which lies on the coral island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. James knew the mysteries behind the Bermuda Triangle, and he knew the risk of going to the lighthouse. James decided to become a lighthouse keeper and retrieve the treasure. He decided to explore the lighthouse with his girlfriend, Lana.
After many years, they finally got the opportunity to become the lighthouse keeper of the Isaac Lighthouse. They had to stay there for 6 months and take care of the lighthouse, but their motive was different. They carried all the necessary things they needed for 6 months and even took the book with them. They flew from LA to Miami and took a boat from there to the lighthouse. It took them 2-3 days to settle down and start their work. The book had in-depth insights on how the treasure could be retrieved. It said on the left basement of the lighthouse, there lay a secret door that held a riddle for them to complete. They quickly began their search for the riddle, but to their surprise, the left door led them to a maze, and they got separated. Later, James found the riddle and eventually found Lana, and they went to the top of the lighthouse, where they opened the riddle. It said the treasure comes once a day where there is light in the darkness, as in the thing that emits light in the ocean’s darkness, and if the process is done wrong, the Bermuda triangle acts upon them and causes a huge ocean wave. They tried to solve the riddle, but they couldn't get a hold of it. It said the light had to be dim in order to do it. Eventually they found out the treasure was on the lighthouse, but they had to climb to the top of the lighthouse. Lana was quite weak to retrieve the treasure. So, James decided to try it, and he went on to climb the lighthouse. As Lana read the rules from the riddle, James was not aware of the dim light rule. Upon reaching the top, he decided to break the light and take out the treasure. He was amazed to see the treasure, and without any second thoughts, he decided to take it. Which triggered an alarm, and a thunderstorm started to arise. After a few minutes, a huge wave started to head towards the lighthouse. James noticed the storm and warned Lana, but it was too late, and the wave struck the tower and killed Lana. James managed to survive the wave, but Lana died, which led James to be depressed. He held it together, and after 6 months he returned home and moved on with his life.
Moral: Being careful and mindful of the dangers that come with your endeavors is crucial, as greed and impatience can result in catastrophic outcomes, which is essentially what this narrative teaches us.
