Adams County’s Gold
Adams Academy was a good school. Boys lived there and took classes. Tom
worked hard all week. On a spring Saturday, he wanted to do something fun!
He asked his friend Jeff to go to the movie theater. “ Sorry,” Jeff answered. “ I’m
going to a concert.”
So Tom asked Joe to go to the movies. But Joe’s soccer team had a game.
Next, Tom went down the hall to Brad’s room. Brad was reading a very large
old book. “ Hi, Brad,” Tom said. “Are you reading a dictionary? It looks ancient.”
“ No. This is called
The
Wealth
of Adams
County. It’s about hidden gold in
Adams County. It’s more than a century old. It was published in
1870
! Look, it
even has the original cover on it.”
Tom asked, “Where did you get it?”
“ It’s from my dad’s friend. He is a nice gentleman, an officer in the army,”
answered Brad.
“The gold doesn’t really exist, does it?” Tom asked.
“ I don’t know, but maybe! There are clues to it in this book. Let’s find it!”
Looking for gold sounded like fun.
The first clue was to find a flat tree underground. “ It must be in the forest,”
Tom said.
Brad said, “The flat tree could be a board under the dirt. It could cover the
gold.”
Tom and Brad dug in the dirt all morning.
The process of looking for gold made them
hungry. They were ready to stop for lunch.
But then Brad hit something hard. It was a
board!
Brad pounded on the board until it broke.
There was a small hole under it. “ Look!” He
held up a gold coin.
Tom saw a piece of paper in the hole. “ Brad,
there’s more. It’s a map to the rest of the
gold!”
Brad smiled. “ Let’s go!” And they
hurried to find the wealth of Adams
County.
