Benjamin is a little detective in a palace.
He wears a small hat and coat.
He is shy but very brave and kind.
His friend Toy is a small dancing doll.
Lion is a soft stuffed animal friend.
Lion has a gentle mane of golden fur.
Monkey is a plush monkey with a smile.
Monkey likes to swing and giggle and play.
The map shows a hidden treasure in the palace.
They all look at the map with bright eyes.
They feel joy and hope in their hearts.
They decide to find the sparkly treasure chest.
They pack a bag with cookies and milk.
They tiptoe past tall columns and bright lights.
They reach a tall door with golden knobs.
Benjamin opens the door with a small key.
Inside they see a long dark corridor ahead.
Monkey swings on Benjamin's arm with a grin.
Toy dances across the floor with happy steps.
They whisper words of cheer and courage.
They move past tall vases and bright paintings.
They reach a small room with a tall mirror.
The mirror glows with a soft golden light.
Benjamin shines his little flashlight on the floor.
They find a faint mark on a marble tile.
They press the tile and hear a light click.
Inside they see a spiral staircase going down.
They hold hands and go down slowly together.
Their hearts beat with soft excitement and calm.
At the bottom they see a round door ahead.
The door looks old and strong and wooden.
Monkey makes a happy monkey sound with glee.
Toy claps her hands in a cheerful dance.
Benjamin inserts the golden key in the lock.
The lock turns and the door swings open.
They enter a small cave with warm light.
Inside they see a chest covered in dust.
The chest has bright jewels and shiny locks.
A pirate stands there with a grumpy frown.
The pirate holds a toy sword in his hand.
The pirate says, "This treasure belongs to me."
Benjamin feels shy but stands up tall.
He says, "We found the map. We share treasure."
Monkey jumps up and waves a small fist.
Toy spins and shouts, "Yes, share treasure!"
The pirate frowns but then his face smiles.
He kneels down and shakes Benjamin's small hand.
"I forgot to share with friends," he says.
Benjamin nods and offers pirate a warm biscuit.
The pirate smiles wide and eats it with joy.
They open the chest together as a team.
Inside they find shiny stars and golden coins.
They see colorful gems and bright toy crowns.
They cheer and laugh in a happy circle.
They each take one small treasure item.
Benjamin chooses a shiny magnifying glass toy.
Toy chooses a pink gem that sparkles bright.
Lion chooses a golden crown for his head.
Monkey chooses a string of tiny star coins.
Pirate chooses a shiny new toy sword.
They sit down to snack and drink milk.
They hug with happy smiles all around.
Benjamin whispers, "Thank you, friends, for sharing."
They leave the cave and climb back upstairs.
They go home with bright hearts and sleepy eyes.
