The sun was setting on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the vast expanse of the desert. Three young men were standing atop a sand dune, looking out at the horizon. They had been traveling together for weeks, exploring faraway places and seeking adventure.
The three youths intended to spend their time adventuring while they were still young. Many people regret in their old age because in the past, when the opportunity arose, they did not dare to pursue their dreams. The three people didn't want to end up like those people.
One of them, a young man with minus glasses, whose lenses were quite thick, clasped his hands together and placed them in front of his lips. He turned to his two companions and said, "Well, what do you think? Shall we keep going?"
Another young man, who had thick, curly hair, smiled. He shrugged. "I don't know. We've been traveling for so long now. I'm starting to get a bit tired."
The third young man looked at his two friends, one after another. He was a young man with an emaciated physique. Among the three of them, he was the most neatly dressed. He nodded in agreement. "Me too. I think it's time we stopped for the night and got some rest."
Instantly, the one who wore thick glasses, sighed. "I suppose you're right. We should find a place to camp for the night." He ran a hand over the dark blue jacket he was wearing. The jacket had accompanied him faithfully during their journey. It was a birthday present from someone very important to him. Therefore, almost every time, he always wore the jacket.
The three of them looked up at the sky. They realized they didn't have much time before the sky darkened completely. In the middle of the night, wandering around without knowing exactly where to go was not a wise move.
They began to make their way down the sand dune, heading towards a nearby oasis. As they walked, they talked about their travels and the places they had seen. They discussed the people they had met and the stories they had heard.
Suddenly, the bespectacled youth stopped in his tracks and pointed ahead of them. "Looks!" he exclaimed. "What's that?"
The other two followed his gaze and saw an old wooden box lying in the sand. It was covered in dust and looked like it had been there for a long time.
"What do you think it is?" The emaciated youth looked straight at the object.
Without asking for the approval of his two friends, the young man with curly hair stepped forward a few dozen steps and kneeled down beside it. He brushed away some of the dust and revealed an intricate pattern carved into the lid of the box. He ran his fingers over it, feeling its texture and admiring its beauty.
Following his friend, the young man who was dressed the most but stepped forward and peered inside the box. He could see something glinting in the darkness. Instantly, he reached in and pulled out a small golden key. He held it up to the light and examined it closely.
The young man wearing glasses smiled at his two encounters. "Well, what do you think? Shall we open it?"
Those three looked at each other. Their faces were full of excited lines. They seemed to forget the fatigue that hit all over their bodies.
Smiling, the curly haired youth nodded eagerly. "Yes! Let's see what's inside!"
The young man in the dark blue jacket hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing with his friend's suggestion. He inserted the key into the lock and slowly turned it on until he heard a click. He lifted the lid of the box and gasped in surprise as he saw what was inside: a pile of ancient coins!
He reached in and picked up one of the coins, examining it closely before passing it to the young man with curly hair who did the same before passing it to the emaciated youth who also examined it with awe before placing it back in the box with reverence.
The bespectacled youth smiled at his two friends before saying, "Well, I think we've found something special here today."
The second youth nodded in agreement and adding, "Yes, this is definitely something worth keeping."
The third youth smiled as he looked around at his two friends, then saying, "Let's keep this box safe and take it with us on our travels."
"Are you sure about that?" The curly haired youth said while stroking his chin. He seemed to be considering something.
"This chest isn't that big. I don't think it will bother us. But of course, we have to find a place to rest quickly."
"How about we rest here?" The bespectacled youth looked around them. "I don't think this place is too bad."
"Hmmm!" The most neatly dressed young man nodded in a swift motion. "I'm afraid that if we leave this place to find a better place, it will take quite a long time. That would almost certainly be impossible, since the sky will soon turn dark."
"Okay!" the curly haired youth finally agreed. "Let's just rest here. Now let's close this chest first."
"Wait a minute!" The emaciated youth frowned. "I have a feeling there are other things in this chest."
"Eh?" The young man with minus glasses also turned to his friend. He tried to guess what his friend wanted to say.
"Just pay attention." The bespectacled youth pointed his index finger at the object they had just found. "The bottom of this chest, doesn't it look too shallow?"
His two friends simultaneously groped at the bottom of the coffin.
"You're right," said the curly haired youth. "Behind this slab, there is another room."
They tried to pry off the slab that had looked like the base of the chest. It wasn't easy, but after trying several times, they finally succeeded.
"Eh?" The three of them let out the same short exclamation when they saw the objects that were in the hidden space.
"The contents are books?" The bespectacled youth shook his head.
"Let's see what's in these books!" The well-dressed youth nodded vigorously.
There were six books that were not too thick there. Each of them took a book to read. There were still three books left at the bottom of the chest.
